How do you move the files over using adb? Or do they just need to be on the root of the SD card?

[Moto X General] :
Any files you flash with fastboot, need to be in the same folder on your computer as fastboot.exe is. Tho, you should be using mfastboot. At least you need to if flashing firmwares. Perhaps not for unlock and recovery flashing.

[Moto X General] :
I'm either misunderstanding what your trying to do....or you're not looking at the right thing.

To unlock, there's nothing to transfer to phone. And to flash recovery, the recovery file needs to be on your pc ....in the folder that has mfastboot. Nothing needs to be pushed to your phone. :)

Yes, so nothing gets pushed to you phone. Just put your custom recovery file on your pc in the folder mfastboot is in. Open a command prompt window in that same folder and follow the guide to flash the recovery.

After you unlock the bootloader. Follow that guide. Again...nothing to push to phone. Just need your code. Then flash recovery.

[Moto X General] :
Fastboot is in platform-tools folder, so that's where recovery goes. Then in the dos command window, you navigate there....run the commands. After its flashed you boot into recovery on your phone. Remember, it is volume up to select recovery, not the power button. If you flash twrp, the right one for your os version....after you are in it....choose reboot to system, it will ask you if you want to root. Swipe yes. Once in the phone, you may need to download supersu from playstore if you don't have it. When you do...go into it, and it will maybe ask you to update....update it. Done. ;)

ok maybe someone can help me out

i have an unlocked BL ATT on 4.4

i installed twrp, superuser, xposed

i'm tryign to take the update to 4.4.2 so i removed xposed, and tried to flash back to stock recovery using

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

the image i used was for stock 4.4. when i went to boot into recovery i had the dead android with the "!" was still able to boot the phone into android.

booted back into recover and tried again, still no luck. tried again with the 4.2.2 image. still the dead android

finally i tried flashing the twrp recovery, and that worked fine, and gave me twrp recovery again. am i missing somethign to get my stock recovery back?

nope used that syntax and another variation of it and still getting errors.

C:\Windows\system32>mfastboot fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>

.........

C:\Windows\system32>mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

error: cannot load 'gpt.bin'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The MD5 was checked too, it's good.

So should mfastboot and the files supposed to be flashing be in their own folder in the platform tools folder?
[Moto X General] :
Fastboot and mfastboot are in your sysyem32 folder in windows? That would be confusing. You should have them both in your platform-tools folder where it was installed originally. Just easier to find and not so cluttered. All the files your flashing should be in there too. Not in a sub folder. Just in the platform-tools folder with the fastboots.

Here is a page from a thread with same error, maybe it can help.

you should not have had to use mfastboot for everything many people have followed the guide to the T. I'm sorry I won't change it because I know this way works because I have tried it and many others have also. but I'm sorry you had a hard time getting your phone rooted.

that's fine, also do you know why I got those errors with fastboot? I'm actually prepping the phone to go to 4.4 and I'm getting them again lol

Factory Reset problem

I have a Moto X 1058 from AT&T. Stood firmware 4.4 and Root. Flew through the air update to 4.4.2. Accidentally installed. Root remained. Stopped working Xposed framework. I deleted it. I want to reset the phone to factory settings but I can not. When the phone menu I choose factory reset the phone reboots in fastboot mode and visible lettering:

Partition (recovery) security version downgraded
Fastboot reason: bit failure.

What to do? I would like to get on the phone to factory settings, but in the mode recovery also does not go ...

SBF package via rsd lite or flashing via fastboot and mfastboot sounds like your only option left

[Moto X General] dray_jr:
honestly im not sure i know it took them over a month for the sprint one.

but what i dont understand if why you can't factory reset have you tried booting into the bootloader and hit the volume down button till you highlight recovery then hit the volume up button and try a factory reset from inside the recovery.

So, I can't get adb to recognize my phone when it's in the bootloader. And even though I can't install the drivers for the actual phone, for some reason, adb will pick up a device when NOT in bootloader... Yea, there's a slight urge, but I'm guessing it's a pretty safe (or UN safe, depending on how you look at it,) that an attempt at unlocking the bootloader in this fashion is ill-advisable, huh?

[Moto X General] dray_jr:
try this. i dont think the recovery changed at all from 4.4 to 4.4.2 so i would grab the recovery.img from the 4.4 sbf package and flash it via the steps below and then see if you can boot into recovery

1. download AT&T 4.4 SBF Package
2. Extract Recovery.img into the ADB/Fastboot directory
3. boot phone into bootloader mode then plug USB cable in
4.type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. fastboot erase cache

after that try booting into recovery. and if still nothing idk why i didnt think of trying this before. you can use the fastboot command

fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache

to wipe all user data and start fresh but either way i would try to get your recovery working again.

what with the Chinese guy not at all many people have used him and everything has worked fine.

here are some troubleshooting steps for the ADB issue

1. unplug the cable then boot in bootloader then plug the cable in.

2. try using a different USB cable (preferably the white cable that came with you phone)

3.reinstall the drivers for your phone.

a. uninstall old drivers

b. restart computer

c. download drivers and install

d. restart computer

e. plug phone in after you boot into bootloader.
[Moto X General] Hammerdroid:
I've tried all these things minus 3a & 3c... I can't get the drivers to install because my decade-old laptop has USB 1.0, won't pick up the device to install all of the drivers. It will only be recognized under certain circumstances.

If the command fastboot devices doesn't show your device, you could end up with big issues, assuming you can flash anything at all. If a flash goes bad cause your computer has communication issues with your device....all kinds of bad can happen, up to and including a brick.

I'd not be flashing anything until your driver issues are solved. And if its just your outdated machine.....I'd suggest using someone else's newer machine.

stock vs recovery?

hi,

i have tmobile dev edition 4.4 rooted with gravitybox, etc, and want to get the OTA from tmobile. it keeps failing, so i assume i have to go back to stock, right :( if i follow the "Return to Stock" on the front sticky post, will that also give me back the old recovery (so I can get OTA) or is that a separate step? There's really no way to get the update while on TWRP and rooted, right? Do you think I will lose root if I install?

Thx!
[Moto X General] :
Yes, you need to be stock, as far as recovery and the system go. You can either try to undo any changes you made and restore the stock recovery, or the easier thing... Just flash back to stock. After backing up apps and data. Transfer backups to PC, return to stock, ota.... Reroot, then transfer backups back to phone. I did this with titanium backup.

Yes you'll lose root. But rooting again is simple.

Whichever way works for you. :)
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
That's right, it is always recommended to go back to 100% stock before taking an OTA. Flashing the full SBF will also install stock recovery (recovery.img).

You will loose root if you go back to stock but you can always root again by flashing twrp and supersu. Keep in mind that you would also lose your data unless you don't execute the command that erases userdata...
[Moto X General] piruzinho:
Wow, thanks for the quick helpful replies!

So there's no way to just use TWRP to flash the 4.4.2 rom from the repository here, not as an OTA but simply as a flashed zip? Basically, do I *need* the OTA if I just want 4.4.2 or is there a different way to do it?

EDIT: If the stock I "return" to is 4.4.2 (or should I return to 4.4 to take an OTA to 4.4.2?) then why do I need the OTA in the first place?

Also, I assume that if I follow those directions, I don't run the last "fastboot oem lock" command because I have the Dev Edition and don't want to relock, right?
