[X 2014 General] tw1tch175:
If your bootloader locked? If it is you can't do this, if it isn't try rebooting to bootloader again it might just be bugging out.
[X 2014 General] holtenc:
most definitely unlocked. I can flash back and forth between stock recovery and TWRP just fine. Ive rebooted this thing so many times every which way trying to get these files to flash right.

[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Good enough.
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
Had the same problem, you have to use mfastboot.

Mfastboot flash modem non-hlos.IMG

Yes I know that might not be the file name, going off the top of my head. But its how I got it to work.

Edit: that was supposed to quote the person with the problem, but it didn't sorry replying from my phone.
[X 2014 General] holtenc:
Thanks but it produces the same error as using fastboot instead of mfastboot. I don't get it.

I can't even flash the rooted system.img that OP put on his site. which produces a very un-helpful error:

F:\Android\adb>fastboot flash system system.img
error: cannot load 'system.img'
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
I couldnt get the system.img to flash either, i had to do the modem flash using the mfastboot, and then use recovery to install the ota.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Is system.img in F:\Android\adb? Cause if not.....
[X 2014 General] holtenc:
ha. Of course it is. If it wasn't the error would say: "error: cannot OPEN 'system.img'"

trust me.... i checked about 7 times to make double super duper sure the file is in the same directory as fastboot/mfastboot

meh. i give up. I'm assuming if moto send me a soak test OTA I'm screwed on that as well. Maybe I'll just go get a Nexus 6. my b-day is coming up afterall..... :good:
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
I had to ask. :)
[X 2014 General] holtenc:
I can't blame you.... when you consider 50+% of the posts on XDA.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Yea, just didn't want to make any assumptions. The other assumption is where your mfastboot came from? I had a person on my House of Moto thread who was having problems with his mfastboot and turns out it was not the right binary.
[X 2014 General] Sterbo:
where do I find the AT & T modem to be able to put lollipop?
[X 2014 General] holtenc:
my mfastboot came from graffixnyc post in Development for his rooted system img. There's a link there.

speaking of... using his mfastboot to flash his system.img brings a whole different error

F:\Android\adb>mfastboot flash system system.img
target max-sparse-size: 256MB
Invalid sparse file format at header magi

of course, all 3 of the issues I'm having aren't new and each of them have been reported in this thread..... but some people are only having 1 or 2 of them. I just seem to be the unlucky SOB that's getting all of them.

OP
[X 2014 General] Sterbo:
OP???
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Just checked out the mfastboot download and it is indeed the same as the one shipped with the latest Moto X xt1053 FXZ from Moto so that should be correct. My only other guess would be are you using a USB 2 port and the original OEM cable that came with your phone to flash? System is a HUGE file and those two things matter. A lot.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

Yes, the original post. As in the very first post of this thread which you should most definitely read.
[X 2014 General] holtenc:
Read the very first post on this thread. the Original Post.

here. link to the download site.
[X 2014 General] Sterbo:
is the same with the one I downloaded but the installation done if I look in settings-info, the modem has not changed
[X 2014 General] holtenc:
USB 2.0: yes. OEM cable: no. If fastboot just flat out didn't work for any commands I may suspect the cable. I've tried 3 cables. Non are OEM though. Heck I don't know. I'll try the OEM cable when I get my hands on it in a couple days. It's funny, just today my HTC M7 was giving me hell in fastboot too. Windows wouldn't recognize the device in fastboot mode.

Google play services uses 16% battery on my phone while screen uses 24%. I think its quite a lot isn't it?
[X 2014 General] nineismine:
Ugh softbrick.

So I flashed this one yesterday and I was having trouble with LTE almost right away. I did a couple of the things people mentioned.

FDR Flash HLOS FDR FDR FDR

Lots of different variations. I did this before anyone suggested backing up my old modem so I didn't end up with a backup. I have been unable to get consistent data on my phone whilst admitedly trying a kind of ham fisted approach to troubleshooting. Today I decided to try to reflash Lollipop which resulted in a failure flashing (missing Books.Apk) .

After this I am stuck in a bootloop. Any suggestions guys? I did unlock my bootloader so I am good there.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Windows 8 by chance? I've seen some flakiness reported on 8/8.1 machines but I've not had any issues on mine. And trust me, the wrong/bad cable could let some commands work but system, as mentioned, is freaking huge. You're essentially jamming over a gig down the line.
[X 2014 General] djwyman:
if I am on at&t network and have the 5.0 update already should I flash the at&t radio posted in the OP? I ask because I have noticed a hit in network performance since updating(or at least it seems like I have.) Also If I should do so do I do it threw fastboot?
[X 2014 General] holtenc:
Thanks for the info. Yes. Win 8.1 x64. I think I might have one dusty Win7 machine still humming at the office. I'll give it a shot there. Oh, and I don't know that it matters, but when I try to flash system it doesn't think about it or attempt to send the file at all. It's just an immediate FUIQUIT the instant I hit the enter key.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Something's not right there. Stupid question time. You did verify the hash of the image you downloaded against the one posted on the site, right? Again, I can't make any assumptions so please don't get offended. :)

[X 2014 General] holtenc:
No offense taken. Even people that consider themselves savvy because they've flashed hundreds of roms/images/etc on too many devices to count make mistakes. Such as myself. Turns out "stupid question time" was "right question time".

The MD5 don't match! lmao. :mad::mad::mad: aawwe shucks.

No joke this is the first time in my life I've had MD5 check come back negative. So, I just quit checking them. It's funny though, I downloaded the system.img 3 or 4 times just to make sure it wasn't corrupt some how.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
It's why I asked. Gut feeling. I find those usually pull on the right thread at the very least. Glad you got it figured out now. Good luck!

[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Not sure. Sorry I couldn't help.
[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
You can't flash the system.img as is. It needs to be broken up into a few 255 MB pieces. You need to use the DD command in Linux (can't be done using dd on android) to split the system image up, then flash each one.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
That's the point of using motofastboot. It does that internally.
[X 2014 General] zxcv888:
It used to work. It worked great with KitKat that way. But after lollipop update some apps like whatsapp and Viber bypass the priority filter. It appears they are treated as alarms for some reason. Even when I put sleep mode on moto x the moto app would redirect to the priority filter to do the notification management.
[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
I believe It will flash the separate images automatically one after the other. Look at the toolkit. He used my kit kat system image but he had to split it and he also uses mfastboot to flash them. That's why he made each image 255mb..if you look at the error message it says something about 256 limit or something.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
OK, so I messaged [MENTION=1473596]bho[/MENTION]090808 about the sparsing and this was his response:

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to extract a stock boot.IMG without root on L yet.

Any ideas?
[X 2014 General] tw1tch175:
I did it through TWRP and have a boot.img if you want the link
[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
The system and boot IMG that I posted were both pulled in twrp via the DD command.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Hmm, then why would he say they're missing parts?

Is there a reason anything pulled from TWRP would be missing anything?

But I have tried to flash the 5.0 boot.img you posted and it doesn't work (fastboot log on phone says something about partition sizes not matching), while the 4.4.4 one does work. I assume they were both pulled the same way..?
[X 2014 General] nexus15:
Ive had it on nexus devices since ics, plus both moto x devices. Assuming you use Google voice for voice mail instead of your carrier you go to settings in Google voice and you tick the box that says 'voice mail display' with that enabled you can go to recent calls, even in lollipop and listen to voice mails left by callers from your recent calls screen in the dialer app.
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
Mine only says "your carrier" even after I did set up for google voice...

[MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] when you get your Moto X pure edition, do you mind pulling all the radio files that are needed for those who want to downgrade? That'll be awesome!

[X 2014 General] purejoy:
This OTA pack would upgrade BootLoader to version 0x6011,so it's not safe to downgrade your system.
[X 2014 General] Jmaniac55:
ehh worth a shot. haha
[X 2014 General] nineismine:
Downgrade possible?

Not trying to stick my nose in where it doesn't belong but I was stuck in a bootloop from trying to re-apply the OTA.

I wasn't able to fix it so I did the following using the multitool files which means I successfully downgraded.

fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3

Just an FYI to other people who are considering this. I am on Tmobile and have a real Pure edition. After flashing this and using the ATT modem. Both times now I am having trouble with losing data and all cell reception. I have done numerous FDR's and reflashed the ATT modem. Buyer beware I guess!

Thanks for your effort and that's really a good news! I just wanted to remind him to be careful,since MOTO used to update like this and lots of users bricks their phones when trying to downgrade.

[X 2014 General] greebli:
Hei nerotix i saw that you got it to work on your xt1092...

Could you help me out? I'm having some problems getting my 92 to be a 95...

I can't do it with the toolkit because i'm on OSX (#sadboy)

Flashing the Rom does not work.

Flashing via Fastboot does not work- Boot loop.

P.s was in utrecht last week...loved it :)

I'd be really happy if you could help me out here

- Greeb

edit: got it to work on my xt1092

How i did it (does not mean that that's the right way, and yes this is probably risky and ****):

1. Unlock your Bootloader

2. Your XT1092 needs to be a XT1095, there are some differences in the rom and the device name.

2.1 You can use this tool MOTOX_2014_PURE_MULTI_TOOLV3.zip to make your 92 be a 95, if this doesn't work flash the files in the zip manually. When you boot you shouldn't have any Connection and in the System version there should be a en.US.

3. Flash Modem from OP's website.

4. Go into recovery and flash OTA.

5. Factory reset if android L boot's into the phone directly and not into the setup manager.

6. Flash original Modem.

All done, works like on my N5, 4G work to.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Every other moto phone has a system img as big and I've never seen one split like that before. If you look at the Fxz's they're always a single image. Has anyone tried flashing it with rsd lite 6.24? That would be something to try imo.

As that rom is rooted I did what someone else said about survival mode on SuperSU, and also flash the At&t modem to avoid some reported problems.

Then I did the same sideload process that the people are doing, I got no error. If ADB Sideload doesn't work, try to flash over recovery (stock recovery), and continue following this guide.

After installing and rebooting I noticed no signal, so I used the modem files of the brazilian rom exactly this way

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

Then I got back the signal.

Not the best tutorial, if you don't understand somenthing ask me, I'll try to help.

You are right I have never seen a moto ota before. This is my first Motorola phone. Another question, would I be able to get updates moto sends now that I have this OTA installed? Sorry for ignorance :laugh:
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Of course. There's no difference between a soak build and an OTA, much to the contrary of popular opinion around the Net. A soak build is simply a test run of the OTA that's about to get pushed out. I can only think of maybe one time where the build released to soak testers was not the same build that went OTA. Unless they find some super critical bug that prevents widespread release, the soak build is always the exact same build pushed OTA. Therefore if you ever see someone ask "how can I install the OTA since I installed the soak" either ignore them or slap them. Your choice. LMAO :D

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

How was the 5.0 boot.img that's posted on the OP's site created? I ask because it's not signed properly which leads me to believe it was dd extracted. If that's the case, I can create signed boot and recovery images for 5.0 if you guys would like. Let me know.
[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
It was pulled via DD.
[X 2014 General] nineismine:
Yeah I was pretty worried about it I remember reading horror stories about downgrades failing!
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
I generated a signed version of boot. Recovery is taking longer to create than I'd like. They added a bonus file to it which is causing me problems trying to find/generate. Can someone pull /system/etc/recovery-resource.dat from a 5.0 phone? I'm guessing it could be done by booting twrp and copying it from terminal. If I had that I could create a signed recovery img, as well.
[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
Seems like TWRP is working well with 5.0 Here is a boot.img pulled right from the backup.

http://graffixnyc.com/development/motox2014/lollipop/boottest.img

If someone who is on 5.0 just wants to test that to make sure it boots ok(although it should)
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Nice. That signature matches so it's fully signed. Sweet. The issue now is recovery.
[X 2014 General] nineismine:
Doing this I lost my IMEI, I would not do this if I were you guys.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
I can also use the recovery-resource.dat file from a 4.4.4 phone. I'd have to patch it to the 5.0 version first, but, it'd work. Just an extra step. So as soon as someone can get me a copy of that file (and let me know which version it came from :)) I can create a signed recovery file. That way you guys can flash twrp and when necessary flash back to stock recovery.
[X 2014 General] micr0g:
Hello guys,i have some problems with TWRP

Sorry in advance for a newb question:

I am on Tmobile, is the HLOS.img thats posted in the op considered the correct modem?

Thanks
[X 2014 General] MaKTaiL:
Try flashing the one provided by the OP.

If that doesn't work you will need to flash the modem from the XT1095 variant.

I am sure your IMEI is not lost. It is just not showing up because the modem is incompatible with the variant.

I had a Moto X 1st Gen once and I flashed the european rom to get 4.4.4 update. I lost my signal and my IMEI.

After that I just flashed my original modem on top of it and it was working again with 4.4.4 installed.
[X 2014 General] nineismine:
Thanks much for taking a couple minutes to help! I am going to try this now.

Looking at the order of this:

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

Isn't that backwards?? We flash the modem and then erase the modem partitions?

Just had a random question about using this ZIP: do I still remain on the stock Motorola update path if I used this ZIP?

[X 2014 General] IGoDur6:
So I've been following this thread since it first started but I have yet to update my Moto X because of conflicting results for people. I was previously rooted with Xposed installed but I got rid of all that (hopefully). I uninstalled the Xposed modules I had by dragging the module apps to the uninstall area and removed Xposed by the uninstall in the app (not flashing the disabler zip). I had root through SuperSU thanks to a rooted boot image I used. In SuperSU I used the full unroot option though instead of Survival Mode. If my chances of succeeding in this update were small can I reroot my device and enable Survival Mode to increase my odds? If not I guess I can wait for the OTA to be pushed to my phone.

For a little background, this is my first Motorola device. The fact that there is no factory images to fall back on is what is causing my hesitation to try it myself. I got spoiled by the Nexus devices lol.
[X 2014 General] nineismine:
Thats the NON-HLOS.bin file right?

I have tried restoring that as well as the one in the OP .

I have even flash back to 4.4 using that tool. So far all I get is "unknown" for the imei and baseband.

On the other hand I am learning a crapload today!
