[Sony Xperia M] ijtaba7:
Hi guys,

I'm facing a problem here, which is that my phone doesn't auto mount 2nd Part of SD Card for Link2SD (while booting) if I use GL2SD.

Link2SD is working fine, it auto mounts the 2nd Partition as well after every reboot.

But if I use GL2SD, when the 2nd part is mounted (obviously) via Link2SD for apps, I don't get any problems, but when I turn my phone on next time (call it a restart or reboot) i get the Mount Warning that 2nd part failed to mount while boot and is mount after the boot so your apps will not be shown.

And i choose that "recreate mount scrip option" and reboot and all apps appear.

But why is it happening?

Can't I mount using the second app if one app is using the mount option?

Also RAMExpander shows that device is busy while turning Swap Off.

And yes I tap the unmount button before turning GL2SD off, it's set to auto unmount on exit as well.

Why the usage of GL2SD is affecting the mount status of Link2SD?

Please help me.

Phone : Sony Xperia M Dual [Rooted] [Bootloader Locked ¦¦ Unlockable: Yes]

Android OS : 4.2.2

SD Card : Two partitions:. 1) 3.76GB ext4 (for Link2SD) nd 2) FAT32 for Media (Personal use)

Whenever I use Spotify for an extended amount of time my data stops working. It says I have data but will only upload and not download any and the only way to fix it, is to put the phone in Airplane mode and then take it off . This only happens with Spotify. I'm running LikeWise S5 2.5b as a rom.

Could it be related to this?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatazeuz:
So, i have noted a increased number of threads about people who have soft-bricked their phones downgrading from 4.4.4 GPE after recieving the OTA, since it includes a new partition table and there's no firmware image yet.

Worry not, i have found a solution for your problem. This method only let's you use custom ROMs (sadly), but it's meant to be a temporal solution while we wait for a 4.4.4 GPE image anyways.

So, without further ado, here's my fix:

You will need:

-The good ol' Android SDK

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download

-Motorola drivers

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481

-A custom recovery. I recommend TWRP, since is the only one i have tested.

Official TWRP Images for Moto G: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/xt1032/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-xt1032.img

-The gpt.bin from 4.4.4 (this is the partition table)

I extracted it from the OTA file and uploaded to my Dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/82658555/gpt.bin

-A custom ROM of your choice (obligatory) + GApps (optional)

What to do:

Once you have the Android SDK, decompress the folder sdk/platform-tools in a place of your choice.

Inside this folder, put gpt.bin, the custom recovery image and the ROM and GApps zip's.

Start your phone on fastboot. Connect it.

Inside your decompressed platform-tools folder, hold shift and right click inside the folder. Select "Open command window here".

Make sure your phone is properly connected by typing "fastboot devices" (without the quotation marks). The command prompt should show your phone serial number.

Now we start the real deal. Fist of all, flash gpt.bin using this command:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

Make sure it ends on "OKAY"

Now, flash the recovery

fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecoveryfile.img

Once this is done, enter recovery using the fastboot menu on your phone (use Vol- to highlight "Recovery", and then press Vol+)

Now your phone should boot on recovery mode. If you recieve an error like "Can't mount /system/", don't worry, this is normal (there's no system partiton yet, after all). Now you can use ADB command with your PC. Once again, to be sure everything is connected properly,tyipe on the console:

adb devices

Once that is done, it's time to give your phone the custom ROM, so you can flash it. Type (or copy/paste)

adb push NameoftheROMfile.zip /sdcard/ NameoftheROMfile.zip

If you have GApps, do the same for those

adb push GApps.zip /sdcard/ GApps.zip

Now you can finally disconnect your phone from the PC! You are almost done, select "Install" in your recovery, and flash your ROM zip, then the GApps if you have them.

Once it's done, you can reboot to system.

And you will have a working Moto G again!!

Enjoy it, and don't brick it again :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maurocds:
the guide isw missing some info (like enter flash sideload on recovery)

and that weird command push does not work, i have to use other command

i managed to install another rom after being bricked but still that rom won´t start, i have to try another

still thanks a lot

i did not download android sdk, i have my folder with adb files

also when i am in recovery, i type fastboot devices and nothing happens, but still the recovery could receive the file
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatazeuz:
From my experience, you don't have to enter sideload mode in recovery to push a file, sideload mode is for pushing OTAs. And remember, the ADB push command requires you to put the exact name of the file to transfer twice, that could have failed for you.

You can't use fastboot devices on recovery because you can only use ADB commands in recovery, you were supposed to use "adb devices".
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masa86:
Or you can restore 4.4.2 nandroid backup using recovery if you made one. But after that you need to flash correct baseband.

i just received failed at twrp recovery and how do i flashed gpt.bin right because it say okay.

And what does gpt.bin actually? (i am a noob)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatazeuz:
got.bin is the partition table of the Moto G. Its the file that indicates to the phone the size, name and number of partitions it should have.

So, I know TWRP said in red letters Failed, but I'm interested what is the specific error, what did it said on the command prompt of TWRP.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlra:
I'm kind of confused. Why couldn't people downgrade and go back to stock by reflashing all of the files from an older stock image, including the motoboot and gpt? I would think this would work...although with people saying that they are unable to downgrade I'm not willing to try upgrading to 4.4.4 myself. :P

What errors are people seeing if they try to flash gpt and motoboot from, say, 4.4.2 stock or 4.4.2 GPE?

Hi. I also tried to downgrade from GPE 4.4.4. What I did was install CM11 and Gapps. Then OMNI rom and Gapps, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2756571. I then downloaded and installed MotoGpe from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2626803. I then wiped data cache etc. It booted up to 4.4.2 GPE and downloaded the 4.4.4 update but failed cause of etc/firmware/wlan/prima/ unexpected contents. At least I am now up and running again. Have to wait for 4.4.4 full rom.

Could someone upload the etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file from stock gpe rom please.

tried to go back to another rom and not start over

I tried the steps in the tutorial but returned no effect
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maurocds:
i did all, several times, changing parts, but still no

no way

there is no partition to write anything
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Drifter_:
Okay, i just resolved my soft-brick (downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2). Wheres what i do:

1- Flash the gpt.bin from the first post.

2- Flash the TWRP Recovery.

3- Go to Wipe

4- Format Data

5- Type Yes

6- Advanced Wipe, do not choose anything, just swipe to wipe, when it's over just appear: ''updating partition details...''

7- I use a USB OTG with a pen and CM11 on it. Flash the ROM. In TWRP you will have a Sucessful message and a ''updating partition details...'' message as well after flashing a rom.

8- Reboot the phone.

Now, i dont know if its related but, before this, I try flashing a 4.3 ROM using this method:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542219

I edit the flashall file, just delete this:

CALL :fastboot_flash partition gpt.bin

IF %errorlevel% NEQ 0 EXIT /b 1

Flash follow the tutorial, and in the fastboot in a message like this appear: version downgrade from tgz.

Then I start the #1 procedure.

Now, I dont have network working, wifi, BT, GPS works fine, no network. Probably a imei corruption?

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

Okay, i tried soft-brick the phone again to see which method can reverse the situation, wheres what I do to solved the sof-brick, if some dev can take a look and figure out why this solved, at least, my problem would be nice:

1- Flash TWRP, I use the OP method in the first post.

1- Try this with a 4.3 ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49759263

Like i said, open the flashall file and delete this lines:

CALL :fastboot_flash partition gpt.bin

IF %errorlevel% NEQ 0 EXIT /b 1

The Phone, will not flash back to 4.3, but somehow, the error e:unable to mount data / system / internal storge is gonne from recovery when flashing a ROM and the phone mount data, system, cache and internal just fine. When the flash is donne, a pink message will appear in the phone: version downgraded for tgz.

2- Go to TWRP.

3- Go to Wipe.

4- Format data - type yes using the keyboard

5- Advanced Wipe - do not select any option, go to this menu and just swipe to wipe. When the process is done, it will appear a message saying: updating partition details...

6- Go to Mount - you will see data and cache mount. This point is just to see if data and cache is mount.

7- Where I used a USB OTG, but someone could try pushing the ROM using adb, I think it will work. In my case, just mount the USB OTG and flash a ROM. When the ROM is finish, the same message will appear: updating partition details...

8- Boot the phone.

Now, in my case, i do not have network, BT, Wifi, GPS works not network, so probably the EFS paste was deleted when try get the phone back to work. So, be aware, if you try this method and lost your IMEI/network, im not responsable.

Boost Moto G flashed to Page Plus is bricked downgrading from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2

- attempted reflash and made it worse unfortunately

- current status: power on phone has it stay on the unlock bootloader screen

Can get into fastboot and TWRP

- but flash of 4.3 stock ROM via fastboot hasn't been successful

- error on phone says img are too large

- tried the gpt.bin file posted earlier, no change

- TWRP can't mount to Data, Cache, or System (did a wipe)

Here is the good news (hopefully)

- I have a NANDroid backup on PC and USB stick (4.4.4)

- USB OTG works (file manager in TWRP can navigate to it)

- can't use ADB because I can't set USB debug (or is there another way?)

- PC doesn't see the phone as storage so I can't copy and paste

How can I get TWRP to use the NANDroid backup?

Has 5 files in a folder:

- boot.emmc.win

- boot.emmc.win.md5

- recovery.log

- system.ext4.win

Succesfully downgraded from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2

Hi all,

Like alot of ppls from there i bricked my Moto G XT1032 GPE 4.4.4 at bootloader loop.

All started when i was trying to install Cyanogenmod and forget i am a GPE not a non-GPE. CM asked pe to erase everyting, i erased backup and all but this question was forever. So i lost backup, and everything. My partition changed and i was not able to reinstall any stock roms.

Two nights i was a zoombie to try to revive my Moto, i wanted to revive it with a stock or a GPE again, not that temporal solution with a custom rom that it worked, so really TY for alternative.

So... for two nights i got same errors like all "file is too large" , " gpt.bin failing" and "motoboot.img failing"

Today i succesfully flashed via fastboot the single full firmware 4.4.4 from xt1032 "XT1032_RETAIL-BR-SS_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_42_cid12_CFC_1FF.xml" without any gpt or motoboot failing error and my device revived again with a stock 4.4.4.

Was so happy but after solved this i wanted to solve also converting to GPE again, then i was downgraded via fastboot to 4.4.3 "RETAIL-BR-SS_4.4.3_KXB21.14-L1.32_34_cid12_CFC_1FF_SVC.xml" , of course i skipped flashing gpt.bin and motoboot.img, Then i downgraded again to 4.4.2 Tesco Retail GB frimware wich was my original firmware, again skipping flashing gpt and motoboot, also succesfull. Now i converted my moto G to moto g GPE using MotoToolAioV3, and installed 4.4.4 OTA update.

So should work on other XT`s to try install a 4.4.4 stock, then downgrade to 4.4.3 with same stock region, then downgrade again to 4.4.2 with any other region. If it works let us to know.

Hopes will work for u guys !
