modem link not working 2nd link ive found that wont download help?
invisiblek said:
No, I do not have a full I535VRUCML1 firmware package for you.
Yes, I somewhat lied in the title of this thread. But I did it for a good reason: to get your attention.
Mods - I'm sure you'll understand.
You should NOT flash the I535VRUCML1 firmware (or any subsequent releases for that matter). You will brick. This is what vzw/samsung did on the first OTA for the Galaxy S4. They changed the keys they sign the firmware with. This prevents us from 'mis-matching' our firmware like we've been doing all along. We've been leaving aboot (VRUAME6, the african-canadian sock-monkey leaked bootloader) alone and updating everything else. Since they're signing with different keys now, doing this will brick your device. If you update the ENTIRE bootchain (including aboot) you shouldn't brick, but will be stuck with a locked bootloader and any attempt to downgrade (via dd, etc) will brick you as well. Even if you manage to flash an ENTIRE old bootchain over VRUCML1, you'll brick because they trip a qfuse that prevents it from working. More info about qfuse by djrbliss here: http://t.co/myb0LIrN6e
Just stick with VRUBMF1, trust me.
These firmware updates have, up until now, consisted of several partitions that we update:
- tz (trustzone)
- rpm (resource/power management)
- sbl[1,2,3] (secure bootloaders)
- NON-HLOS (modem/baseband)
Due to the way Samsung and Verizon have chosen to proceed with future updates (following what they do for the Galaxy S4) we cannot flash all these partitions anymore (see above) and retain our unlocked bootloader. We CAN, however, update the baseband as it's not signed.
My recommendation: if you aren't already on MF1 firmware (below), flash that. Then update your baseband with this: http://invisiblek.org/sch-i535/modems/d2vzw_ML1_modem.zip

Flash d2vzw_VRBMF1_firmware.zip over I535VRUCML1?
I am on CleanRom 8.2 with Baseband I535VRUCML1. When I updated to this from CR 6.2 my phone reception took a hit - I'm in mountainous outlying areas, so I notice right away areas that drop calls that didn't before.
I'd like to try a different modem but am confused which files are safe to flash. The only valid links I've found is invisiblek's at .../firmware/d2/. Can I flash d2vzw_VRBMF1_firmware.zip to try the MF1 modem without bricking? If I try it and want to get back to ML1, would the d2vzw_ML1_modem.zip get me there? The difference between "firmware" and "modem" in the file names worry me -as well as the d2 in the name - Are the d2 files also for the I535 Verizon models?
Other options? I also see a d2vzw_NE1.zip. I haven't read anything about an NE1 modem. Thanks for your help.
Hey,
New to xda-developers, so I apologize in advance if this post is in the wrong place. I am looking to upgrade my modem (I think I'm on the MF1 currently, and I'm having GPS issues). The link on the first page to the ML1 modem is broken for me, and I was wondering if anyone could link me to a copy of the ML1 and/or any of the newer ones. The only other ML1 modem I've found so far (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591895) fails the zip signature verification when I try to flash it, and I'm hesitant to skip the zip verification to try to flash (it matches the md5 from the download page I got if from, however).
Thanks in advance.

I think I have it all sorted out. I ended up reverting to an earlier snapshot of CM11 and my GPS seems to be working again. Thanks for offering, though.
Need ML1 modem
I'm currently running CleanROM 7 with the MF1 modem. I've tinkered with too much and need to reinstall. I'd like to try Alliance or another 4.3 ROM, but I need the ML1 modem to do so. The link to the ML1 at invisiblek's site hasn't worked for some time. Does anyone have a zip of the ML1 modem that I can install via TWRP?
Thanks.

I have the xt1032 variant running Moto stock 4.4.4 with stock recovery.
If I flash GPe ROM and GPe stock recovery will I be able to receive lollipop update OTA?
EDIT: nvm. I posted in the wrong thread by mistake
Signal Problem
Boss, i have tried all of the above files related to my ph. but still i am not getting signal after converting my my moto g xt-1033 to gpe...
please help if anyone can help me... its a request... thanks in advance
Hi, can I flash 4.4.4 radio on a 4.4.2 Moto G? Thanks
WiFi and 3G not working on XT1088
I have a Moto G 2014 xt1088,
unfortunatelly I think I ran the command "fastboot erase all" and now I can't use WiFi and get 3G signal. I think if I replace the radio/modem via fastboot could solve it.
Can someone tell me if is possible, and what if I flash the xt1033 radio, it will boot?
Or someone could upload the xt1088 or xt1084 version.
Sorry my english.
Thanks.

Unfortuantely if you really have used the fastboot command 'erase all' - you have lost your IMEI and there is currently no way to restore it. You have to return the phone to Motorola.

Other questions :S
Thanks for the support man,
just confirming, the WiFi depends of the IMEI too, right? even the WiFi I can`t restore?
And one last thing: only Motorola can repair it (or just replace the device), or may a regular repair phone store could do something? what if they replace physicaly the phone memory?
Sorry so many question, it`s my last. :angel:
Thanks again.

Does flashing 5.0.2 kernel and radio ensures update of 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 dual Sim xt1033?

They aren't absolutely necessary to run Android 5.0.2. For example you can use this ROM with your current 4.4.4 Radio:

I have a gpe converted xt1033. Now I have restored stock 4.4.4 but I'm not getting any network. Should I flash the radio of dual sim version or single sim version since my phone was converted to gpe. Also rather restoring 4.4.4 Asia retail I should directly install stock 4.4.4 gpe and the radio of gpe.

You can flash the Dual-SIM 4.4.4 radio. Also flash the 'Kernel Modules' at the bottom of OP.

Moto G4 Plus Factory Firmware Images
Please report broken links. New Mirrors welcome!
WARNING: Flashing a Firmware Image is not a safe way to downgrade.
How to flash:
[GUIDE] Moto G4 Plus Newbie Thread - Restore stock firmware
No longer maintained. Removed content.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I restore Factory Firmware if my Bootloader is locked?
Yes. However attempting to downgrade to an older version of Android may fail. Even with an unlocked Bootloader, downgrading cannot be guaranteed. It's also important to be aware that flashing the wrong Bootloader for your model can have serious consequences. Always establish your model of Moto G4 Plus before flashing.
What does 'Preflash Validation Failed' mean?
'Preflash Validation Failure' happens when the Firmware Image you are flashing is older than one you have previously flashed.
After flashing Firmware Image files phone gets stuck during boot-up | will not load Android?
Refer to the guide. Check you are naming the files correctly, and make sure you are flashing all of the 'sparsechunk' files - not just those mentioned in the tutorial. The 'sparsechunk' commands listed there are not to be copied exactly, different firmware images have different files.
Downgrading and OTA Updates
If you downgrade, it is advised to avoid all OTA Updates. These updates can result in a hard-brick (phone will not turn on) if you have a newer Bootloader than the one expected.
This thread was made with a reason so people can easily find their stock rom links. Everyone is welcome to help. Please state your model/carrier and post the link here. I will add it to OP. Thanks!
@yeshwanthvshenoy, many firmwares available at Moto G4 firmware page. Even better part is that the links of downloadmirror are pretty damn good too speed-wise.. add these URLs too and give proper credit.

@itskapil I already made a list of firmwares and their models but I need some people to test and tell me. I can't post just with some assumptions. I have links of filefactory only. Maybe people can look that site as an alternative.
General Filefactory folder with a bunch of stock ROMs: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=DESC&show=25
There are some things that are really confusing me, both in this Filefactory folder and the ROMs posted in the OP. For example:
XT1641-XT1643_ATHENE_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-13.3_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
The XT1641 is the Canadian / Mexican G4 Plus, while the XT1643 is the Indian G4 Plus. Both device have two different sets of radio bands (for example, the XT1641 has HSPA Band 2/4 and LTE Bands 12/17, while the Indian model lacks those but has LTE Bands 1, 8, and 40, among other differences). So, if one were to flash this ROM, would they be flashing the Canadian/Mexican modem, or the Indian modem?
Similarly, there this file:
XT1621-XT1622-XT1642_ATHENE_MPJ24.139-23.4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
The XT1621 is the Canadian/Mexican G4, while the XT1622 and the XT1642 are the European G4 and G4 Plus, respectively. Again, the two regional models have different bands enabled, so if you were to flash it, would you be flashing the Canadian/Mexican modem, or the European modem?
I'm not surprised that G4 and G4 Plus images are combined for the same region, (such as XT1625-XT1644_ATHENE-RETUS_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip, which is the US G4 and G4 Plus), but these other images that have model numbers for different region devices with different modems is confusing me.
would you happen to have the xt1644 firmware?

It's intended for the US models, XT1625-XT1644 RETUS. The US models launched with MPJ24.139-48, this is an incremental update, MPJ24.139-49. The changelog was just "improved call quality". You may be able to flash it on the Indian model, but be sure not to flash the US model's modem, as it has different sets of bands enabled.

Hey guys .... Good Morning
I have a question for you or i want to have ur Advise on " DOWNGRADING FROM MM (JAN SECURITY UPDATES)>LOLLIPOP
Is it Possible to DO ? I have Moto G3 XT 1550 2gb/16gb... I'm Asking This question CZ i think battery backup and overall performance of Moto G3 with Lollipop was brilliant . But i have read so many thread of many user saying that they had bricked their device while downgrading from MM to Lollipop . So I'm Stopping myself to do so at this moment friends is it possible to do and what I need to do to make it happen waiting for Reply frnzz
Thnx in advance :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
I have done it.
Offcourse you can downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop. I did that 2 to 3 times, haven' faced any issues. What I want to let you know is be careful with each and every step when proceeding further.
I think you aren't rooted, so no TWRP. I have the same device, what I usually do is get the TWRP backup to an external sd card before messing up, so in case anything goes wrong you can directly roll back to the point where you started.
2 things I want you to know before starting :
1. If you are too much concerned that your device may get bricked, I think you must unlock the bootloader, root the device, flash TWRP and get a full backup and then proceed further with downgrading.
2. Usually if you are careful, you can directly downgrade without doing step 1.
Starting off
1. Download the stock firmware from this Link

Offcourse you can downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop. I did that 2 to 3 times, haven' faced any issues. What I want to let you know is be careful with each and every step when proceeding further.
I think you aren't rooted, so no TWRP. I have the same device, what I usually do is get the TWRP backup to an external sd card before messing up, so in case anything goes wrong you can directly roll back to the point where you started.
2 things I want you to know before starting :
1. If you are too much concerned that your device may get bricked, I think you must unlock the bootloader, root the device, flash TWRP and get a full backup and then proceed further with downgrading.
2. Usually if you are careful, you can directly downgrade without doing step 1.

U have done it before the security patches or after the security patches cz security patches upgraded the Bootloader and In order to downgrade i think i need to skip motoboot and gpt files am i right bro or correct me if im wrong
I never updated anything on lollipop, though it was rooted and had TWRP installed. I don't remember everything but I received the security patch updates, i tried installing but each time when the device rebooted the installation failed. (I think because of unlocked bootloader)
When Jio came up, I was having VOLTE issues on Lollipop so I wanted to update to Marshmallow but I couldn't do it over OTA update. I backed up the lollipop rom via TWRP and then manually flashed the marshmallow rom myself. Everything was good but I didn't like the vertical app drawer, so again I backed up marshmallow rom and then rolled back to lollipop rom with minutes. After some days I had to restore to marshmallow again. And after months, today I am on AOSP Extended rom based on Nougat. Excellent Rom.
So regarding you questions, I suggest you to go through the comments section of How to flash factory images page.
I already told you, if you are concerned then unlock the bootloader, root, TWRP. :good:

Sir the boot file is before the motoboot.IMG (bootloader) and gpt file
Is the boot file required to be removed as with the bootloader and gpt file.please correct me.
My name is Anshuman and I am from Rohtak ,Haryana
I have a moto g3 osprey xt1550 Indian model with viper os on it (viper os is a great ROM).Please reply as soon as possible.
Finally I tells you that you are 85% right. I tried by removing the gpt and bootloader file.
Do want to restore it to back stock 6.0.1
downgrade to 5.1.1
I downgraded to 5.1.1 using 6.1 stock reckovery for reset before flashing.
Flashed factory image without flashing gpt.bin and bootloader.img
After reboot i got a notification to completely deinstall motorola sensor-firmware in order to went back to a previous version.
Not knowing if this will brick my device, i only disabled the notification by longpressing it/ question mark/.. a screen opened where i could block this notification.
Till now i could not see battery life improvement compared to MM or N Roms

Yes you can downgrade by using stock recovery with having Motorola update notification but you can not do it with twrp recovery as it may be dangerous for your phone.I had done it successfully with stock recovery of 5.1

Sorry bro Motorola hasn't released the firmware and also it is not available on XDA also there are chance that we will receive them late but I'm not sure about that and bro first thing to relock the bootloader u need to have the same firmware on which u unlocked the Bootloader. So to relock the bootloader again u need the firmware latest with oct/jan/april security patches .
