I recently downgraded to 4.4.3 XT1040 and wasn't able to flash partition cfg.bin and boot boot.img, I was told to just skip it

I downgraded, updated it to 4.4.4 and got 5.1

are there any consequences to skipping those two?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autoprime:
XT1028 (Verizon CDMA)... stuck in fastboot mode. I got the dreaded: "version downgraded for boot" "failed to validate boot image"

Of course, my issue is I cannot unlock the bootloader on this model so the "normal fix" of unlocking the bootloader will not work in this situation.

While I work on an unlock method I'm curious if any experienced moto-users have some insight on possible fixes for this issue (I am new to moto).

The obvious blankflash/qboot/singleimage fix does not help the situation... I still end up with the boot errors. Another symptom is that I cannot flash my original GPT (pre validation error).

Thoughts on my issue? If I knew WHY this was happening then I think I could fix it. I flashed the Boost XT1031 GPT and Modem. Modem should have been fine but I now realize the GPT was a mistake as it seems to be signed.. and seems to be the cause of my signature/validation issues. What could the GPT have changed (besides the obvious) to cause this?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tal.aloni:
I was able to come up with a program that validates sbl1 / programmer.mbn for many Qualcomm based devices including my XT1032.

Here is a print screen for emphasis:

[IMG="SBL1-US-Retail-4.3"]http://s1.postimg.org/w4231l1vz/XT_1032_US_Retail_4_3_0.png[/IMG]

[IMG="programmer.mbn"]http://s22.postimg.org/ve7x7ho0h/Programmer.png[/IMG]

Note that the programmer does match SW_ID=0x03 (I don't know what SW_ID means, but AFAIK it's not a value stored in the qfprom).

[IMG="programmer.mbn"]http://s11.postimg.org/9xmfsn14z/Programmer_SW_ID_03.png[/IMG]

I have created a page that details all that I have learned about Qualcomm Secure Boot including this program and its source code.

Edit:

I have later found out that the programmer itself checks for the BOOTLOADER version stored in the qfprom, see here.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LasseWolpmann00:
We need the MBM-CI folder. The folder contains files like the programmer.bin or singleimage.bin which we need to unbrick our Moto G's.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xt1032bricker:
This partitions file is not valid and can not work with the python code you've posted. The code splits the input at ":", a seperator which is not present in the file you posted. There are also no offsets/sizes in the file like in the one posted from the x907.

The "index" error which everybody gets who runs the code is caused by this wrong file structure.

Do you have a valid file for the Moto G / xt1032?

If the mbn files you've posted are correct for the Moto G, the size entry in the partitions.txt should be the same size as each file in the motog folder. How ever, I do not know how the offset has to be choosen.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tal.aloni:
In case my previous post wasn't clear enough:

The programmer that we have (the one from the UK 4.3.0 retail ROM) is compatible with the XT1032 (same HW_ID), BUT it's signed for SW_ID = 03.

The retail XT1032 have SW_ID = 00.

EDIT: SW_ID is not the issue, the programmer checks which BOOTLOADER version has been set for the device (see here).

So we could use the same programmer, we just have to modify it and resign it, problem is, there are 2^256 values to check :(

(A 300$ worth of hardware can check 2^64 values in 180 days)

p.s. the version of singleimage.bin doesn't matter at all, it's just the initial boot loader that will be written to your phone, you don't care whether it's old or new because you can update later.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reynard80:
Seems like good progress. Wouldnt it be possible for everyone to check a range of combinations? Or do you need specialized hardware?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IonDEfeso:
regarding the logic board replacement

Hello like the rest I also hardbricked my moto g-xt1034 (I converted it to xt1033 to get lollipop early then bricked it when I decided to downgrade and do the OTA). After almost 7 months of waiting I decided to just get me the logic board to replace it and my question is would a moto-g xt1034 (from cell one central) logic board work for me? I am considering that option since (ironically) seems cheaper getting the whole phone than getting just the board itself but im not sure if it being a cell one central phone the logic board would be incompatible since I bought my moto g online from motorola.

Thanks in advance.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tal.aloni:
It's faster with a specialized hardware, but it's just SHA256 calculations, you can also use your CPU or GPU.

The problem is that even if we distribute 2^64 combination to check to each person (which will take at least 180 days), we still need 2^192 people trying in order to try 2^256 combinations.

Even with many people pitching in, we will still need to be unbelievably lucky to find the desired combination.

(on the other hand, you can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket)

Unlocked bootloader, installed CWM, installed CyanogenMod 12 (Android 5.1)

A couple of times the phone died randomly and to bring it back I had to take the battery cover off, disconnect the battery, connect power and then reconnect the battery. The 3rd time this happened this fix no longer worked. Now if I connect the charger the LED lights up permanently but no amount of holding down buttons will start the phone or even bring up the bootloader - doesn't matter whether the battery is connected or disconnected at this point.
