If you do not unlock the XT1250 bootloader, I do not recommend flashing the XT1254 stock Marshmallow image (whenever it's released) over the XT1250. If something went wrong, you would be in trouble. Possibly dead phone. An unlocked bootloader can forgive a lot of mistakes. Just re-flash again.

But unless you specifically take an XT1250 Motorola OTA update, if you install anything else (either custom ROM or even flash XT1254 stock) then you will need to unlock your bootloader beforehand -- which will mean re-configuring everything, yeah.

Brazil XT1225 Moto Maxx just got official Marshmallow release yesterday -- finally after long soak test. Let's see how quickly Motorola rolls it out to the other Quarks?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66597686&postcount=234

Since neither the XT1254 nor the XT1250 has it yet, if you want stock Motorola Marshmallow, there's really nothing you can do right now anyway (since you have an XT1250).

And it seems you don't want to go the custom ROM route? CM13, Resurrection Remix, or Mokee for Quark? They are all Marshmallow. But would still require you to unlock your bootloader and root.
[Moto Maxx General] Netossauro:
Well, I will wait a bit more for the oficial OTA release for the XT1250, if motorola doesn´t release it until october 2016, let us say, I ´d probably unlock the boot loader and install a CM13 and maybe get even more of Moto Maxx´s power

I appreciate you concern regards my questions. I will keep in touch
[Moto Maxx General] bigjailerman:
So If could get a hold of the Brazil version, can I flash it on my xt1225 Puerto Rico Moto Maxx that is now on CM13 and unlocked bootloader? Are there any precursors to go back to an official build like that while on a custom rom? BTW phone is being used in Colombia btw. I dont have any older backups unfortunately.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Yes.

Best deal would be if someone posted a TWRP backup of a clean Marshmallow install. Then you could just restore in TWRP.

I posted TWRP backups of 4.4.4 that way last year -- pure stock and then stock rooted.

But the other way is to download the ROM from Motorola and flash it.
[Moto Maxx General] bigjailerman:
Thank you very much. I may wait a bit to see if marshmallow can be rooted without issue.
[Moto Maxx General] Netossauro:
Hello folks,

Any news? Any update?? I check DAILY if there´s an update for android 6.0 for my XT1250
[Moto Maxx General] Hawtpants:
Hi there guys, new Moto Maxx owner here. The stock version of Marshmallow can be unlocked/rooted in order to install xposed and stuff? I am getting my device tomorrow and gonna fully OTA update it, but I intend to keep on stock. Not sure about custom ROMs... What's your advice?
[Moto Maxx General] monza1412:
I believe that you need a premodified stock kernel that allows root, the stock 6 kernel will cause bootloops.

If you want to try custom ROMs there shouldn't be a problem for root and xposed.

Be aware that you have to unlock your bootloader first, losing your Motorola warranty.
[Moto Maxx General] usmanshahid:
Hi guys! Noob question here. Can I flash the American Moto Maxx Firmware on the Droid Turbo to get rid of the Verizon Bloat and get a near stock device?

I don't intend to get the bootloader unlocked and would love to be able to OTA update the flashed device when any update becomes available.

Thanks.
[Moto Maxx General] Cobra04:
Can't answer your question but it's worth it to just unlock the bootloader. You'll be able to flash any future update as well as tinker with any ROM.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
People have flashed XT1254 firmware over the XT1250, as they are the same device -- so should be possible to go the other way, flashing XT1250 over the XT1254.

However, if you did that, would be best to unlock the bootloader first. If you make a mistake, it's easier to reflash. An unlocked bootloader is more forgiving.

Don't flash the gpt.bin part. The XT1250 only got 5.0.2 and the XT1254 got full 5.1. While both are Lollipop, there may be a difference in bootloader partition.
[Moto Maxx General] usmanshahid:
Does Motorola allow unlocking the bootloader of the Droid Turbo XT1254 or will I have to use Sunshine?
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
You have to use Sunshine if you can -- are on SUTL-44 firmware.

Lower than that, you can flash to upgrade to that firmware. If you are already higher than that (i.e. SUTL-49) Sunshine will not work.

That is just for the XT1254. All the other Quarks (XT2225, XT1250) allow bootloader unlock for free via Motorola website code.

I sucessfully made a dd backup from my unmodified system partition (marshmallow) to system.img_sparsechunk files. It flashes flawless with fastboot on unlocked bootloaders (xt1225), but it fails on locked ones (invalid signed system)

I wonder if any of you knows how to sign this system.img and/or how to skip sign verification when fastbooting.

Other question: I just found 4.4.4 firmware on motorola website. Do you know if 5.0.2 was "made" by some user or released from Motorola (Lenovo)?

Thanks in advance.

Do you know how [MENTION=6076132]computerfreek274[/MENTION] [MENTION=355004]Computerfreak[/MENTION]274 ??
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Both the 4.4.4 and 5.0.2 images I host, as well as [MENTION=5747496]baybutcher27[/MENTION], are Motorola factory images. I host 5.0.2 Puerto Rico, India and Brazil, as well as 4.4.4 Puerto Rico. Here in this thread, bottom of first post:

[Moto Maxx General] RodMY:
Does this "RETBR" mean that I can install it on my brazilian phone?
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Yes, means "retail Brazil". It's basically "factory" Brazil firmware, clean with no carrier affiliation.

You can look here, in [MENTION=5747496]baybutcher27[/MENTION]'s folder to see what the firmware for different Quarks looks like. This Marshmallow ROM is not posted there yet, but will be (probably) as soon as he gets broadband access back.

[Moto Maxx General] junior_ilha:
NICE!!!!

Can you tell us where did you get it?

Thanks ..
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
From that link. File Factory, is where he got it. He didn't upload it, someone else did. He was asking for someone to please download it and re upload it to a faster storage site.

From the past, we suspect someone from Motorola uploads these to File Factory and gets a commission/cut off people who sign up for premium accounts to get faster downloads from that very slow site for non-members.

You can see ALL the "Quark" firmware (XT1254, XT1225, XT1250) uploaded to File Factory here:

QUARK FIRMWARE - FILE FACTORY

http://www.filefactory.com/folder/f9d1880e6c5b4800/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=50

But it's S-L-0-W downloads -- on purpose. They want you to pay for premium account.

How have the Claro PR Firmware Android 6

I need the Claro Puerto Rico firmware but the android 6 the last. Thank for all
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
You will have to wait, unless you want to install the Brazilian "factory" Marshmallow. Soon, India and Mexico will be available.

Last year, India, Brazil, Mexico XT1225 "factory" got Lollipop 5.0.2 first. Then later the carrier-affiliated XT1225 got Lollipop over the successive months. Claro Puerto Rico was one of the last XT1225 to receive 5.02. Lollipop.

I flashed both my Puerto Rico (Claro) and Mexican (factor) XT1225 to India XT1225 5.0.2 image as India XT1225 was the first -- it launched with Lollipop 5.0.2 in March 2015 and that image was available immediately.

Then Brazil was the first to get an "upgrade" from Kitkat 4.4.4, as it had launched with KitKat 4.4.4 in October/November 2015. Then after Brazil upgrade, soon came Mexico factory.

This time it looks like Brazil is first and India is 2nd. Mexico will not be far behind. But those are "factory"/"retail" images, not affiliated with any carrier. You can flash to one of those if you don't want to wait for Claro Puerto Rico. However if you are actually using Claro carrier, in Puerto Rico, I don't know if that is possible.

Motorola Marshmallow stock downloads

Here in this slow download site, you can find all the Motorola Marshmallow Quark images that have been released.

There's India, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Brazil. More will be added as Motorola releases them (Chile, various carriers, Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254, U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250...)

Go by the country code.

Brazil = BR

Puerto Rico = AMXPR

[Moto Maxx General] M_w_B:
So I suppose the img for the XT1254 will be coming up soon, but my bootloader is locked. Does a locked bootloader mean I can't flash? I used to flash with an Xperia Pro or Droid 4 and all went fine. The XT1254 is new to me.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
What Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254 firmware are you on? SUTL-44, SUTL-49? If on SUTL-44 (or lower), you can unlock your bootloader...

You can flash with a locked bootloader but you need to do everything correctly. You can risk bricking your phone. An unlocked bootloader is more forgiving.
[Moto Maxx General] M_w_B:
SU4TL-49
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Well, if you got SUTL-49 as an OTA update then you will get Marshmallow as an OTA update. You will not need to flash it, it will come to your phone and you will install it just like SUTL-49.
[Moto Maxx General] M_w_B:
I don't like OTA updates, I prefer a clean new flash starting from 0. But I assume this is not possible?
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
If you do everything right, yes you can manually flash new factory image over locked bootloader.
[Moto Maxx General] M_w_B:
Alright, thanks!

Hey [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION],

I'm on SOAK 3 o 4 (can't remember right now). Should I flash this final release? If yes, does the country matter? These Soaks are Brazilian I believe.

Thanks
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Soak 4 is supposedly the same code as the final release. Country should not matter, but some some people have said Puerto Rico radio in U.S. is better than India radio because Puerto Rico is an American territory and works better with our carriers. I do not know that to be true. All the XT1225 have the same bands, same FCC ID.

[Moto Maxx General] fedecape:
I'm going offtopic here, but I would like an update on your thoughts on the Droid Z and the rest of the available/upcoming phones.

My Moto Maxx is starting to show its age, so I'll probably replace it this Fall. I'm thinking 2016 Nexus? I want to like the Droid Z Force, but I feel like it's too gimmicky and will end up on swappa for $300 in no time. What do you think?
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Overall , I'm not that impressed. They finally added rear camera OIS, but not stereo. And they took away Qi wireless. And they also took away the headset port.

To get Qi wireless back, I need to buy an add-on mod.

To get stereo speakers, I need to buy an add-on mod.

But wait, I can't have stereo speakers and Qi at the same time. :rolleyes: I'ts only ONE MOD AT A TIME!

Why not give me Qi wireless, stereo speakers and rear camera OIS all at the same time -- already built in -- just like you did with the Moto Nexus 6?

Could have been an awesome, awesome phone -- but they seem more intent on selling you mods.

An "updated" 5.2"-5.4" Moto Nexus 6 (Shamu) with on-display fingerprint scanner (like the ZTE Axon 7 has) would be perfect phone.

Motorola could make THAT phone. It doesn't have to be a Nexus, just saying the Moto Nexus 6 would be the blueprint as it has the Qi, IR, stereo speakers, rear camera OIS features. Basically a Shamu in Quark size -- with updated Snapdragon chipset is what we want.
[Moto Maxx General] fedecape:
I'm giving the Axon 7 a second look, and it actually looks like a great option. Very well priced, well equipped and big yet reasonable screen size.

Looks like the only thing that's missing is Wireless charging, but manufacturers don't seem to care about that anymore. I wonder what ZTE will do regarding Android N and future updates. I also wonder if that phone will ever see CM or development of any kind.

I guess that we will have to wait for the 2016 Nexus phones. I hope it's not too late for the Snapdragon 821. I heard it operates way cooler than the 820. That would favor the Nexus a lot imho.
[Moto Maxx General] xploitnt:
Thanks! I have no idea what made me press no, it seems so obvious, but I wasn't sure if it'd to something strange like go into perma roaming or have no LTE or something like that. I'll give it another shot though. Thank you for being so helpful and answering all my stupid questions :eek:
[Moto Maxx General] xploitnt:
I feel like such a noob, I'm so used to Nexus/Sony devices. Anyways, after flashing the 4.4.4 Mexican firmware via RSD, how would one go about updating to 5.0.2 via the Blur (Mexican OTA) zip? Wouldn't flash in RSD (some XML error) or TWRP so I figured I'd try Brazil, or the India 5.0.2 for now, but I'm still curious about that because I do see that it has similar files as a flashable zip but it doesn't flash.

[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Hardware isn't different. ALL the Quarks have the same hardware. The XT1250 is just the unlocked version of the XT1254 Droid Turbo.

Well, storage amount is different. The Moto Maxx and Moto Turbo have only 64GB, while the XT1250 seems to only be sold in 32GB that has been found, and the XT1254 comes in both 32GB and 64GB versions. But other than that, all Quark hardware is IDENTICAL.
[Moto Maxx General] xploitnt:
So flashing the XT1250 to the XT1225 (with global mode selected upon boot) should technically run just fine on T-Mobile right? As I said a few threads up it all booted up fine and dandy but with no signal which was caused by selecting no when asked if I wanted global settings. But after reading the post about it not being a good idea I just gave up. Though it should work, yes?
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Some have had issues flashing different countries Moto Maxx over each other due to different radio images, even though hardware is identical. That's firmware issue, and we don't know why. But one guy did flash the India Turbo lollipop over his Maxx successfully.
[Moto Maxx General] xploitnt:
I actually did that myself, didn't notice it said Turbo instead of Maxx, just looked at the model number :rolleyes: , and flashed the Turbo India Lollipop over my Puerto Rico Maxx. Worked fine for me, although now I get an error flashing any other Maxx firmwares. It fails on step 3/17(?) which I believe is the very first file it wants to flash, gpt.bin if I'm not mistaken. The India Lolli runs fine though, so I guess if it's not broken don't fix it, huh? I'm sure with some fooling around I'll be able to go back to PR or flash the Mexico firmware if I feel.
[Moto Maxx General] Steve-x:
All Quarks do NOT have the same hardware.

All XT1225's are the same.

The XT1250 and XT1254 are the same.

However the XT1225 is not the same as the XT1250/XT1254.

The proof is that they use different FCC ID's and that while Motorola stipulates(as you have pointed out in the past) that they have a lot of hardware in common it is not all in common - specifically the radio equipment.

So while XT1250 firmware may work(or appear to work) on the XT1225 I still don't recommend it.
[Moto Maxx General] zanoli99:
Has anyone flashed vz us 1254? I couldn't do it with rsd. Anyone know how to flash it? Thanks
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
No disrespect intended, but I think you are confused about some terminology. Hardware does not equal firmware.

They do have the same hardware, except for amount of storage. End of argument.

They have the exact same radio chip. Motorola just locked down different bands and unlocks others. It's the exact same Qualcomm chipset. Exact same hardware on all Quarks.

If you want to discuss firmware, that's a different topic.

The different FCC IDs are because on the XT1250/XT1254, Motorola enabled CDMA on this interface, and LTE band 13 instead of 17. DIFFERENT BANDS out of the box will get you different FCC IDs. SAME bands, SAME hardware, SAME FCC ID.

Which is why the guy who refused to believe Verizon engaged in marketing puffery about "exclusive" is so laughably ignorant. SAME FCC ID. That has legal ramifications for the ADA laws and many other legal liabilities. SAME FCC ID for the XT1250/XT1254 means it's the same freakin' phone.

The XT1225 has the same hardware as the XT1250/XT1254, but different firmware. SAME radio chipset, but different bands enabled/locked down.

On the XT1225, CDMA is not enabled, and had LTE bands 5 and 17.

I could enable CDMA on MY XT1225 if I wanted. Just checkmark those boxes. Why? Because they ALL HAVE THE SAME HARDWARE. All I need to do is check mark those boxes.

Here's what shows up as default on my XT1225. I can checkmark anything I want and as long as the hardware and firmware supports it, I'm good to go. I know the HARDWARE supports it because it's the exact same Snapdragon 805 System on a chip (SOC). The manufacturers decide what bands to enable or lock down. there's plenty of threads of users unlocking additional bands on Samsung phones and others. Samung sells different models of the S5 to different telcos in various parts of the world -- but the ALL HAVE THE SAME HARDWARE. People have figured out how to make a "universal" S5 by enabling ALL the bands, not just the ones for their region. HA.

Same thing could theoretically be done with our Quark phones, depending on the firmware, because the hardware is identical. Some people have tried to enable LTE band 20, but it didn't work, because NO Quarks have LTE band 20 enabled. But if some did, if Motorola sold this phone in Europe, then others possibly could enable LTE band 20.
[Moto Maxx General] Steve-x:
We can agree to disagree. I maintain the hardware is different just as it is with the Moto X 2013/2014. An additional chip is required for the CDMA baseband which Verizon and any other CDMA carriers require - it is not all handled by the 805.
