Same Over here

I am having the exact experience here. Have you figured out a solution around this. I'm sure we are not the only ones.
[X 2014 General] lizaSB:
A little bit of searching can be very useful... This question has been answered lots already.

Motoboot is the bootloader, if you can't flash it, it likely means that your bootloader will not let you downgrade and you're probably not going to fix it (I haven't seen one yet). So, just skip it. Everything else should work. Did you make sure to flash the modem and to erase userdata? The phone will likely produce boot loops if you try to use the data structure from Lollipop.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
This exactly. I've answered this Q so many times XD
[X 2014 General] Optimus J:
Ok, well I went through all the steps as listed and it didnt work. So, I apologize if it may have been addressed earlier but not everyone is on the same level of skill and comprehension and may not have understood it. People sometimes have to realize this is a community of developers and enthusiast alike. I do appreciate everything you guys do and I am not trying to blast anyone. Just want to get my phone running. I got to the motoboot step, saw the fail message, searched the forum, saw that it should be okay to skip and go forward so I did. Went on with the rest of the commands and went to reboot. Got to Ugly unlocked screen, and then bounced to stock recovery -dead android. I am stuck from there. I came from Soak Test .5 rooted so I'm not sure where to go. If someone is kind enough to pm to help I'd appreciate it. Again, a lot of appreciation, respect and thanks go out to all the work you guys do.

Question: Has anyone tried updating the xt1092 using this update without wiping user data?
[X 2014 General] lizaSB:
Okay, so just to walk through it, you have flashed each command without issue? Are you running the Pure Edition hardware? The modem included in this package is only for the XT 1095 (but a modem shouldn't cause a bootlop, dropped signal at worst I think)

These are the exact steps I used to downgrade from .5 L to 4.4.4 stock:

fastboot getvar max-download-size

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot reboot

If you are able to run each command without issue and are still facing boot loops, check your download. If you don't have an md5 hash, can you download a version that has one (i.e. the one from graffixnyc's website) and check it? If you are still facing troubles (or just fed up and want to skip all this), I would highly recommend trying the Multi-Tool v4 available in the Development section -- this will run a script (using mfastboot which is definitely known to work) that will install everything for you and take you back to stock 4.4.4 (assuming you are running the pure edition, if not, you'll need your modem backup from somewhere). From there, updating to the new .6 build should be extremely easy. (The author has even included the OTA zip in their package)

Hope this helps
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
I've heard of some people being able to, from the same stage that you're at, flash the Lollipop .6 OTA in the stock recovery (volume up+power at the dead android) over ADB and be perfectly fine.

Give this a try and report back; it's likely to fix your problem from what I've heard ;)
[X 2014 General] knepe:
Hello

Just a quick question. I flashed the OTA without doing the first 2 steps in your guide involving the partition and motoboot. Will that be an issue for me?
[X 2014 General] shock2sys:
I'd like to chime in and say that this process worked perfectly. :good:
[X 2014 General] crawlgsx:
It sounds like you may be having the same problem I was.

I bet if you re-run flashboot flash system system.img you are getting an error and didn't notice. If that is the case you need the newer flashboot which you can get by downloading the latest Android SDK.

Hi all!

I have just bought my XT1097 (God Im so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). How do I transform it to XT1095? It is possible? and if it is, is there any risk?

Cheers and thanks for your help!
[X 2014 General] seco2004:
Need some in here: I followed the guide to change my XT1097 into a XT1095, and apparently it worked fine, but I still have no data/service even after flashing the modem and fsg from the original XT1097 Brazil firmware I have downloaded. And no, I did not enter the commands to erase modemst1 and modemst2. How can I fix that?
[X 2014 General] trueblueram:
I'm on XT1092 bootloader locked, not rooted. Do i need root for this?

[X 2014 General] snorkel01:
Just wanted to say thanks I am now on the OTA.

I got sick of waiting for them to push it to my phone so I did it last night and my device was totally stock, so I skipped to step 4

and had no issues.

I did run it for a bit before doing the factory reset and there were some issues as you had mentioned basicly some apps from the play store would not install.

So I did the factory reset and no problems at all.

Thanks again.
[X 2014 General] titotito1983:
You had a XT1095 or XT1097?
[X 2014 General] redandblack1287:
I'm scenario B and I'm getting stuck at the first step, where I get the following error:

target max-sparse-size: 256MB

error: cannot load 'gpt.bin': No error

I'm pretty sure the reason is because I used the following program a while back: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

and now when I try to use the fastboot provided in this thread, it isn't actually using that fastboot.

I have had countless problems with fastboot and windows 8.1; I'm not sure that I've ever had it set up correctly. If someone has a link with good instructions on starting from scratch, I would greatly appreciate it. Everything I've tried so far gets me the same results.

If I'm doing something else wrong, I don't know what it could be since I've followed the very straightforward and easy steps to get to the instructions on flashing.

Thanks in advance for any help
[X 2014 General] snorkel01:

Will Steff999's guide work on ATT XT1097 that can't be bootloader unlocked?
[X 2014 General] killerfurbel:
Hey guys I need your help. After following the discussion a while I decided to try this with my XT1092 as well. I have flashed a lot of nexus devices before but since there were some problems with lost signal/imei etc... I just worked my way 1:1 with the given directions.

Everything went smooth and without problems, BUT now I don't have signal, Baseband Version is "unknown", same for IMEI or IMEI SV.

I also flashed the modem and fsg from the xt1902 image a second time - without success. Also I did not erase modemst1 or modemst2.

Any suggestions what to do?

You help is very appreciated...
[X 2014 General] Cabeção-Flu:
I'm in the same here.

When i did change xt1097 into xt1095, the data/service worked normally, but when i flashed the OTA, didn't work more. :(

Anyone help us :crying:

Same here, but i'm on a Brazilian XT1097.
[X 2014 General] seco2004:
I just couldn't make it to work also, so I gave up trying [emoji17] and just downgraded to 4.4.4. Will wait for the Brazilian lollipop, but let me know if you find a fix for this please.
[X 2014 General] killerfurbel:
Did the downgrade at least bring back IMEI and Signal?
[X 2014 General] seco2004:
Yup, everything up and running.

Locked, unadulterated stock update to Lollipop as per your guide worked like a charm! Many thanks, I had not the patience for the rollout!
[X 2014 General] lainscerealexpe:
What you sadly have to do is use the 4.4.4 baseband that came with a retail brazilian image for xt1097 for the time being. :good:
[X 2014 General] shock2sys:
I've tried to like Lollipop, but I just don't like it. There's nothing functionally that I dislike. I can't stand the interface and the Bluetooth stutter in the car is horrible. I'd rather go back to KK and either wait for Motorola to fine tune lollipop or for Google to come out with version 5.1 that maybe allows some tweaks/changes to the color scheme. Anyway, I digress...

I was wondering if I could use these steps to wipe and roll back to 4.4.4. Is that possible?
[X 2014 General] seco2004:
I actually tried that, no good came out of it, no signal whatsoever.
[X 2014 General] fallenturtle:
Emphasis mine.

I wanted to confirm that I was able to flash 4.4.4 stock to my XT1095 and then lollipop using the version of "Moto" Fastboot that is found in the Darwin subfolder of the stock firmware you can download from Motorola . I've attached it to this post as well. I don't know if you want someone else to confirm this, but it might be worth adding to files you have graciously posted on SkyDrive.
[X 2014 General] johnnythundercock:
I tried it, didn't work. Using mfastboot just gives the following:

"Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote failure)"

I tried to ignore it and sideload the image, but I can't even do that. Getting verification failed (because the previous flashes failed) using adb sideload. Any ideas or are we SOL?
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
You do need an unlocked boot loader for this... I do say that in the beginning :P
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Excellent! I'm glad to hear of your success. I'll upload that file to the OneDrive folder immediately :D
[X 2014 General] Optimus J:
Much thanks

Thank you for all your help. I ran these commands just so and it worked flawlessly. Noticed the first line fastboot getvar max-download-size was not in OP. I do admit I started later last night after long day of work and probably mistyped something. No sweat though because you really have to screw up big to hard brick an android. Been doing this since back in the days of my htc evo. Now Im on .6 build rooted twrp no issues. Again thank you all for the help
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
To my knowledge, the getvar max-download-size command doesn't affect the success of a flash. It's simply getting a variable; it doesn't modify anything whatsoever (IIRC, that max download size is 256MB, and that's why Moto Fastboot parses all the images above that size so they're under the limit and flash in succession).
[X 2014 General] Cabeção-Flu:
I was very noob right now, and i did erase modemst1 and modemst2.

Hey guys I have a Moto XT1092

Bootloader locked and un-rooted.

will this method work for me .

whenever i use Multi Tool to flash to stock pure edition rom

The Command Windows on the tool says

failed

and my device recovery says hab check failed

This happens for boot.img

and when the tool starts flashing system.img

the recovery on phone says

hab check failed

invalid PIV signature.

IS THIS HAPPENING BECAUSE I HAVE A LOCKED BOOTLOADER ?

and one more thing guys

i tried to unlock my phone

but the Motorola website says that the device can't be unlocked. ￼

AND I DID REMOVE THE SPACES ON THAT CODE BEFORE PASTING IT ￼

TRIED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE

IS THEIR ANY OTHER WAY I CAN UNLOCK MY BOOTLOADER.

Maybe using the Multi Tool (i know its for XT1095)

HAVE THE LATEST SDK .

HAB CHECK FAILED ERROR

AND signature PIV ERROR HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I USE mfastboot or regular fastboot OR THe Multi Tool :(

THanks in advance

￼
[X 2014 General] lizaSB:
I saw downloads around 700mb when I installed with this method. Maybe they have changed something?
[X 2014 General] sbtm1337:
YES!

I finally have Lollipop on my XT1092!!

I followed steff999's guide but encountered several problems with the modem and data connections etc.

I just couldn't figure out why flashing the XT1092 modem files didn't work.

Then I went back to my original firmware and did the procedure again.

But now I did not let it boot after the OTA Update and directly booted into fastboot mode and flashed the modem and fsg files.

Then after reboot I immediately had mobile service. IMEI and Baseband is back again.

I use Linux and it is very easy with Linux.

In a terminal just go to the folder with the files (no matter where they are!!).

After getting Android SDK I did:

$ sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot <<-- to install fastboot
$ cd /directory with your files...<<--- choose your folder
$ fastboot flash logo logo.bin

etc

after flashing the files put OTA.zip on phone. Go in recovery mode and apply update.

Then when it reboots directly go in fastboot mode and type:
$ cd /directory with your XT1092 modem files/
$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
$ fastboot reboot

now it boots into lollipop and it should recognize your sim card.

This is how it worked for me with Linux. Should be similar with Windows but I think the files for flashing have to be in fastboot directory then.

I did not use erase modem commands

I hope this will give hope back to people who encountered similar problems with the modem. I was about to give up but decided to give it a last try.

bye :)
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
Not 100% sure, but when I was on KK I remember the max size command giving me 256MB.

On L it could be different, I guess.

My point is, it doesn't matter whether you use that command or not in the process :P
[X 2014 General] openbala:

[X 2014 General] fallenturtle:
Well in hindsight I wasn't using ./ in front of fastboot so maybe I was accidentally using the version in my path. I gotta go out but I'll check it out later. One of the versions worked so I'll identify the correct one.

[GUIDE] Update XT1095 Pure Edition to Latest Android Lollipop

That's the wrong file. Use the ones without the ./ in front; I don't know why those others exist.

Also, that file's from the wrong location. The one you need is in the Mac directory of the Moto Fastboot folder in my OneDrive, and IIRC the one you're using is from the firmware zip I posted (which is not the right place to get it).

Did you lose your userdata? Or is there a way to retain it / backup and restore? (on xt1092). I desperately want to update, but do not want to lose data. The OP mentions a step to erase userdata, so I am skeptical.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
If you have to downgrade to 4.4.4 before the update, I recommend it. Not absolutely necessary, but I recommend it. There are quite a few places to go wrong, and just go be safe it's a good idea.

If you're on 4.4.4 now, you're fine to flash the update without a wipe.
[X 2014 General] sha_tan:
I am on 4.4.4. However, I have the xt1092 model which means I'll need to convert to xt1095 first. Are you suggesting I should flash the xt1095 4.4.4 files without wiping userdata?
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
If you're on an XT1092 converting to a 95, I recommend wiping data even more. Actually, I wouldn't bother converting without it ;)
[X 2014 General] sbtm1337:
If you still have a locked bootloader you have to unlock it and this means a data wipe.
[X 2014 General] fallenturtle:
Embarrassingly it does appear that I wasn't using the version of fastboot I posted (from the Darwin folder) and was in fact using the SDK version (22.3). For what its worth I'm attaching that version. Sorry for the confusion.

The only thing I had issues with, and it's not even part of this guide and doesn't seem to matter, was trying to relock the phone.
[X 2014 General] :
Hello there ,

Thank You so much for the detailed guide .

I did unlock my indian moto x's bootloader (XT1092) ,

I pulled off (dd'ed) the modem and fsg partitions and even the EFS via TWRP .

Then i flashed stock 4.4.4 Kitkat for XT1095 , Applied the Lollipo OTA and then just reflashed the Indian (EMEARETAIL) modem and fsg i had backed up earlier and I HAVE A FULLY WORKING device running lollipop.

I have a personal request to you could you please keep us all updated in case any new OTA is rolling out with some enhancements (just in case because i am not sure our devices will be getting the OTAs) in this thread itself ?
[X 2014 General] killerfurbel:
I tried not to erase user data in the first attempt when going from XT1092 4.4.4 (rooted) to XT1095 4.4.4 (stock). Didn't work out very well (home button not working, force-closes, ...) so i had to wipe.

In case you are rooted you can backup your apps easily with TitaniumBackup, transfer the Backups to PC and later copy them back to internal Storage and restore them.

If you are not rooted and unlocked, you can try ADB Backup, but I personally don't have any experience with this...
[X 2014 General] GLUssery:
First of all, many thanks for this. I am a non-root/locked guy that got it up and running mostly painlessly, but ran into a little trouble after the update.

After getting the OTA to install, I factory reset to try to get encryption enabled. That hung in recovery for some reason but still deleted the userdata. The fresh version did not have encryption on by default for me, nor was the option to recover settings, apps, etc. from the Google servers ever presented, just Moto Migrate. I tried a factory reset from recovery and got the same results. At that point, I just turned both on myself and set it up. Is it possible that my factory image is messed up somehow, and if so, is there any way to repair it without unlocking the bootloader? Since I generally don't root anymore (since my Captivate days when it was vital to get the thing running decent), if there's no fix or the fix requires unlocking the bootloader, I'll just ride it out and hopefully, the next OTA will fix it.
[X 2014 General] SolarTrans:
I never got the option to restore from Google either, and I restored a couple times.

I believe they replaced that option with the NFC migration that allows you to tap the back of your new phone to your old one and transfer all your data.

I'm not sure why there's no more option for the old-fashioned re-downloading of apps like you always could...

Question after 4.4.4 Restore

Hi there,

I followed the flash guide to a "T" to restore back to 4.4.4 and it seemed to work perfectly. During reboot, though, it just stays at the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen. Does it just take a REALLY long time to boot after the 4.4.4 flash, or did I do something wrong o_O?

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

Nevermind. I went through Fastboot and flashed 4.4.4 a second time and it worked :)
[X 2014 General] vctrmp:
Sorry to bother you with noob questions, but did you have to unlock the bootloader to convert to XT1095?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
- If you want to check if it is fake or genuine, you can use this app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★ > Menu > 'Refurbishment Check'.

- If you you just want to ask how to root, you are in a wrong place, coz no one knows how to root a fake note 3. You may need to ask in another place, e.g. this one.

- As there are many variants of fake device, you may need to show the device's info using Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app (capture all screenshots from the app and post them all).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obesidia:
Okay xda, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. Last night I tried to flash the Siyah kernel, Siyah-s3-v1.9.1.tar using Odin3 v3.09 on my Galaxy S3 which was currently running Android 4.4.2 on Slimkat, with stock everything else. As soon as I tried this I knew it was completely the wrong thing and knew something was going to go wrong. Sure enough, the Siyah splash screen comes on for a couple of seconds, then goes to a black screen and gets stuck there.

At this point all I can do is watch it do a couple of seconds of the splash screen, put it into Download mode, or put it into recovery mode. The first time I tried recovery mode it was the CWM recovery, but I can no longer get this to happen, so I'm stuck with stock recovery. When just plugged in my phone has a red LED, and the battery status screen you get when you start charging a turned off phone comes up.

I read a guide on here about how to fix a failed flashing with Odin (I forget which one), which led me to flashing I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar.md5 I believe, or if that's not it the stock Samsung firmware. So that goes down, and now I get stuck in the stock Samsung bootloader.

I've since tried to flash a .zip of Stock samsung firmware and Cyanogenmod 11 with another phone's SD card (which I no longer have access to), to no avail. At least that hasn't made it any worse.

What should I do? Ideally I want to get my phone back without losing any data, but I feel a reset may be the only way. Eventually, I want to be able to use it on Cyanogenmod11 with the Boeffla kernel.

Thanks!
