CF says he's soon going to make a version for non-Verizon users, but I think for [MENTION=7437404]Netossauro[/MENTION]'s purpose, CF 6.0.1 ROM with ".49" radio would work fine or [MENTION=7109882]iiWoodstocK[/MENTION]'s Motorola 6.0.1.

CF's is debloated somewhat and has some audio tweaks, while [MENTION=7109882]iiWoodstocK[/MENTION]'s is pure stock except for the necessary [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] kernel to make it run on all Quarks.

Hey boys,

any news about the XT1250 marshmallow? :D
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
No, not yet. Going by past history it will be at least March 2017.

It will also be posted here, and will be at the top of that list when it is released:

[Moto Maxx General] EjđiSixo:
Guys, is it possible for somebody to upload latest radio.img (modem) for xt1250? Can't download whole FW right now because I'm on limited internet and need only the radio. Thanks!
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
The most recent is from March 2016. If you have 5.0.2 on your XT1250 phone, you have it.

If you still need it, I'll download the entire firmware for you and extract it, when I get home from work. But it's a very slow download from free File Factory. Might be tomorrow before I'll have it.
[Moto Maxx General] EjđiSixo:
Thanks, all good now! I already downloaded the full FW , and extracted radio. Needed it because I flashed vzw firmware to test out something.
[Moto Maxx General] Netossauro:
Alright! Looking forward what Lenovo will do with this phone!!! Seriously, this is the best phone I´ve ever had in my life. I do not feel like getting a new one. I bought mine last March, and I don´t have any complain about it. In order to extend its usage time, I would love that Motorola releases me this update :D
[Moto Maxx General] sourav92:
Can any one please upload the latest official firmware image for Moto XT1225 India

Can any one please upload the official firmware image for Moto XT1225 India which includes september 2016 security patch::

XT1225_QUARK_RETEU_6.0.1_MPGS24.107-70.2-2_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
That security patch was an OTA. The firmware version you are asking for was released July 2016. You will find the firmware version you are asking for here:

After you install it, then you will get a prompt for the OTA update.

There's been no updated official firmware image released with that OTA incorporated -- because it would NOT be that firmware version number. It would be a different firmware version, different number, from the one released last July.
[Moto Maxx General] sourav92:
Unable to flash the image as I can see in bootloader log ,cant downgrade after OTA installation
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Unlock your bootloader and you can flash whatever you want.

Just exclude gpt.bin.
[Moto Maxx General] sourav92:
Thats the problem I am facing.. I just executed the command fastboot oem lock begin and thats why I cant install any image expect the updated firmware image. Phone always in bootloader mode.

I cant even unlock the bootloader now, as the oem unlock option was not toggled. Can you please help me on this?
[Moto Maxx General] sourav92:
I am looking for the below firmware image
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
As far as I know Motorola never released an updated 6.0.1 with a September 2016 security patch.

Your screenshot just shows just the 6.0.1 firmware from July 2016 with an OTA security patch then released in September 2016. It's not a "new" version of firmware. If it's not on File Factory it was never publicly released by Motorola. If it's just a minor update via OTA, full firmware image is never released.

Hopefully someone can help you.
[Moto Maxx General] sourav92:
If you compare the build number with BR/LA/Other XT1225 version you can see that this is not just an security patch update. And may be you are right, that motorola never released the same.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
You are right, it says MPGS instead of just MPG. Brazil also got an update like that. But still no complete firmware was publicly released.
[Moto Maxx General] sourav92:
Last day I visited the Motorola service center and they fixed the issue with the updated firmware..

Lets see if they publicly release the same. Till then :cowboy:

News, news news!! [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION]

My wife got update for her xt1250

we don´t know if it is marshmallow since she is at work and does not have wi-fi.

There is no update for me yet. We have purchased the phone the same day, at the same store!!!
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Interesting! If it is stock Marshmallow 6.0.1, even though very "late" for any other Android device then it's exactly on time for the Moto XT1250. :rolleyes:

All the other Quarks have stock Motorola firmware -- July 2016 for the XT1225 and December 2016 for the XT1254 (the FCC IDentical device to the XT1250).

But Motorola has long mistreated the XT1250, I think because it is the bootloader easily unlocked clone of the XT1254. They won't give the XT1250 updates before Verizon's XT1254 and purposely delay them until months afterward. I'm fairly sure Verizon pressures Motorola to do this.

Motorola gave the XT1250 Android 5.0.2 in March 2016 -- a full year after the Moto Turbo XT1225 got 5.02 in March 2015 and 9 months after the XT1254 -- the clone of the XT1254 -- got Lollipop 5.1 in July 2015. Motorola then regressed and in March 2016, the XT1250 got 5.02. Now it's March 2017, so yes I guess it's time for another outdated update! ;)

Keep us informed!
[Moto Maxx General] Netossauro:
Well, it was not exactly what I was expectiong (eventhou I did not get myself the update), I am putting my wife´s printscreen bellow, it was a minor update, changing the version of the system from 22.34.27.quark_Ira.LRA.en.US acg to 22.41.1.quark_Ira.LRA.en.US acg

:crying:

Well, like John Bon Jovi said in the bpast: "Keep the faith"

I am not going to change my phone if I do not get an official update, My wife´s and my own phone are 1 year-old and fully functionally. I am even considering to get a CM rom if there is no update untill June

What would be the best ROM? The one for XT1225 since the phones are almost exactly the same?
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Oh, so it's probably just a security update or something? Sorry about that.

Maybe stock Marshmallow will still come for the XT1250.

As for custom ROMs, my two daily use XT1225 phones (me and my wife) are still on Marshmallw Resurrection Remix 6.0.1. It's rock stable and I have a few exposed modules running like the YouTube ad blocker as well as a parts of a CM theme applied. I'm still not quite ready to move to Nougat, and [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] just posted another RR 6.0.1 ROM update a few days ago.

[ROM][All Quark][6.x.x]Resurrection Remix

However, Nougat is getting more mature by the day and I will probably move over in the next couple of months. Nougat doesn't have Xposed yet, but does have Substratum theme engine to replace CM theme engine. Here's the three best Nougat ROMs:

[ROM][All Quark][7.x] Resurrection Remix

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL]AOKP 7.x For All Quark

[ROM][Quarks][LOS/CM 14.1 Unofficial][7.1.x][2016-12-30] (hybrid of CM14 and Resurrection Remix)

Today is completing exactly one year that I got my update from jelly bean to lollipop. I am losing the hope of getting an official update from Motorola for my XT1250.

I am going to wait one more month, if I do not get any news I will put a cm rom. Could anyone please help me with which rom (the best one on general agreement) would work on my XT1250, and how to do it?

What are the advantages of having the marshmallow or Nougat on my motomaxx? consumption of battery?

Is this one the recommended version of ROM?

[ROM][All Quark][6.x.x]Resurrection Remix

Do you have any recommended tutorial that I should follow to unlock bootloader and upload the ROM?

Thank you very much, have a great week
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
That's the ROM that I still use. It also allows me to install Xposed and use xposed modules if I wish for a few additional funtions, while Nougat does not. It's up to you.

Here's the guide you need. I wrote it.

[Moto Maxx General] Netossauro:
Yes Sir [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION], yes!!! Marshmallow is installed!

The only issue that I am having to config at it used to be is the grid spacing (as you can see bellow). I do not find the option to put it as it was before.

" It also allows me to install Xposed and use xposed modules if I wish for a few additional functions"

Which additional functions do you recommend me?

used to be like this

now it is like this

Another question:

The notification on the old android was the circle on the black screen. I had this little circle with the app´s icon blinking. Now there is a green light that I did not even know about its existence. Is it possible to get this icon back?

I appreciate so much for you help. I will test the phone with the new android for 1 week, once approved , I will flash my wife´s phone too! :D
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
CONGRATULATIONS!

I can't answer in depth right now, but the green light you are seeing is just the LED notification light. You want to go into Settings/Notifications and Settings/Configurations and turn on other stuff. Lots of sub-categories in there.

I use Nova launcher for grid spacing, myself. But there may be ways to do it in Resurrection Remix also. In not sure, since I've used Nova for years.

I'll try to answer more later, but may be tomorrow?
[Moto Maxx General] Netossauro:
Yeah, absolutely, no hurry! I am going though all the menus that I have here. Thanks a lot once more! :D
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Is that Nova launcher you are using or stock launcher? (or the CM Trebuchet?)
[Moto Maxx General] Netossauro:
Google Now launcher (the same I used on the original rom)
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
OK, well you can either get Nova launcher to change grid size or if you want to stick with Google launcher, then install xposed to get a module to enhance Google launcher.

[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION], thank you for helping :D Whenever you come to Argentina (eventhough I am not argentine) you´ve got a nice bottle of wine.

I am not going to install this module. It is ok, I have just rearranged my apps and it´s great now. I am very happy with all the customization that I can access. On Friday my wife´s phone will get updated as well. Now I can have my moto maxx for 2 more years :D

Ps. Justa single doubt: to answer the call, it is needed to swap vertically now. Is the happening with your phone too? No way to change? (I can get used to it anyway)
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
You can configure buttons to also do that. See home button below.

Hello [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION], almost one week of Resurrection Remix. So far so good, however I may be noticing that the battery is lasting less than before, am I right? Do you face the same problem?

I remember being 2 days without charging. Today I unplugged the charger at 8 am and and the battery manager says that it will last until 2 a.m. / However before, I remember having the the phone with battery until the 10 a.m. from next day without charging it

Can I return my XT1225 Brasil from crDroid 7.1.1 to Stock 5.0.2? Or 6.0.1?
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Yes -- as long as your bootloader is unlocked, you can downgrade firmware all the way to 4..4.4 Kitkat if you wish. Just be sure to exclude/omit the GPT.BIN file when flashing the pieces in ADB.
[Moto Maxx General] Gardelz:
I saw some videos from people using RSD Lite. And they was deleting two lines of flashfile.xml

<step MD5="4c97ef4bd9b4616bd0bb5578e3cc3036" filename="gpt.bin" operation="flash" partition="partition"/>
<step MD5="976cc13981e34796a269a6f547a35ded" filename="bootloader.img" operation="flash" partition="motoboot"/>

Is this what you said I have to do with gpt.bin?

Thanks for your support!
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Yes.

I've never used RSDLite, I use ADB -- but yes that's the reason.
[Moto Maxx General] Gardelz:
ADB uses mfastboot commands on prompt?

I saw mfastboot way now. But the instructions kept bootloader. Is it better keep or exclude bootloader?
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
As far as I know, only the GPT.bin file is necessary to exclude/omit, as long as your bootloader is unlocked.

However, if you exclude both files, I see nothing wrong with that.

Then if something goes wrong, just re-flash and on the 2nd attempt only exclude the GPT.bin.
[Moto Maxx General] Gardelz:
Thanks again, man!

I'll give a try today.
[Moto Maxx General] Oascany:
RSDLite is unable to find my device. I did read on this thread that if my bootloader is unlocked, I should flash it with TWRP. So I did. Here's what it shows.

(In Red)

Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.

Error installing zip file '/sdcard/quarkdefault.zip'

Yes, I renamed the file because I had tried to sideload it and it showed the same result. I downloaded this one:

India Retail Stock Marshmallow /// XT1225_QUARK_RETEU_6.0.1_MPG24.107-70.2_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

I was using crdroid but accidentally bricked my phone while messing around with Substratum. So I wiped data but my phone was still in a bootloop. I decided to flash default ROM like this.

Also, for some reason, even in bootloader/AP fastboot mode, the computer doesn't recognize my device when I use 'fastboot devices.'

Yes, I did install fastboot drivers. Can someone please help with this?
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
1) By the way, that's not the latest stock Marshmallow firmware. MPGS is the newest.

2) What happens when you manually boot into recovery? (Phone off, then volume down and power button at the same time.) TWRP still there? Is a recent backup you made still there? Restore that, if you still have it.

Booting into TWRP recovery and plugging into PC will let you see your folders, just like a flash drive. Drag over a custom ROM and reinstall.
[Moto Maxx General] soxxoz:
Hi,

I am sorry but have a big problem.

My phone automaticaly boot only in the recovery.

1) I have tried flash a custom rom

2) after have tried flash a stock rom (4.44, 5.1, 6.0) with RDS

3) after tried flash stock rom manualy with this command

Nothing, whenever the phone boot into recovery.

Any ideas please?

May i instal firmware from India 6.0.1 in to my moto maxx if i run RR 7.1.2 flashing from adb??
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
By Moto Maxx, do you mean XT1225 or XT1250? Both are named "Moto Maxx", but have different FCC IDs.

If the Moto Maxx XT1225, then YES. Both the Moto Maxx XT1225 and Moto Turbo XT1225 (India) are actually the same phone, just different names for different markets. You can flash India 6.0.1 over Moto Maxx XT1225 as long as you omit gpt.bin from the flash commands. Flash everything else except gpt.bin.

If you have Moto Maxx XT1250 do NOT attempt this.

Really, with our Quarks you have to use the model NUMBER, not the name:

"I have a Turbo!"

WHICH "Turbo" do you have? The Droid Turbo XT1254 or the Moto Turbo XT1225?

"I have a Moto Maxx!"

WHICH "Moto Maxx" do you have? The Moto Maxx XT1225 or the Moto Maxx XT1250?

Motorola used the same names for different Quark variants, and you cannot cross flash over all of them. You have to know the model numbers.
[Moto Maxx General] SANCORD25:

Hi, thank for answer

No, it isn't.

I flashed many rom, but I never had this problem.

I tried flash the stock recovery from .zip, of various versions.

I tried fix the file system of all partitions, except rexovery's. Nothing.

Do you know the fastboot commands for repair the recovery's file system, please?

This is my last idea. ?

Phone Stuck in the fastboot mode

I've successfully installed Marshmallow 6.0.1 on Moto XT1225 and than I ran the command "fastboot oem lock".

Now I'm unable to boot my phone, It stucked.

Bootloader Logs says that failed to verify system image. I also forgot to enable OEM Unlocking from the Developer Options.

Can anyone help me with this.

Thanks in advance.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
If you use volume up button and power button together, will it boot to the bootloader screen? If so, from there you can fastboot flash firmware again.

What Marshmallow firmware did you install? What is the exact name, letters and numbers? (There's several 6.0.1 updates, with security patches.)

Which region XT1225 do you have? Brazil, India, Mexico, etc? Since your bootloader is locked, you HAVE to flash your region firmware to repair, and with the same version bootloader (or higher) that your phone currently has. Whereas if your bootloader was unlocked, you could flash any region XT1225 firmware.

Was your bootloader ever unlocked? Yes or no. Just curious why you ran that command...

See this thread for similar situation:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3662683
[Moto Maxx General] niralmunjariya:
Earlier my phone's bootloader was unlocked and I flashed custom recovery TWRP 3.1 and installed a couple of custom ROMs like AOSP, Crdroid, RR but after usage of 2-3 months, I've decided to revert back to stock ROM.

So I've downloaded the stock firmware XT1225_QUARK_RETEU_6.0.1_MPG24.107-70.2_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip from here

After successful installation, everything was working fine just my bootloader was unlocked, so thought it would be great if I can lock the bootloader so that the boot warning should not display. So I ran the command "fastboot oem lock", and that caused everything. My phone stuck in the fastboot mode and unable to boot up again in the normal mode.

And main problematic thing I did is that I forgot to enable "OEM Unlocking" from the developer options and then locked the bootloader. Now I am unable to boot the device hence not able to check that options so I am not able to unlock the bootloader although I have unlock key.

Please let me know if you want to know more, currently, it's bricked and I'm unable to flash anything in that phone.

Thanks a lot for response.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
1) Hmmmm.... that firmware you flashed is actually older firmware for the 6.0.1, so if it worked for you then either you excluded GPT.bin from your flash commands (which you could do since you had an unlocked bootloader at the time) OR you had never installed the newer versions of stock 6.0.1 so you had an older bootloader which accepted that outdated version of 6.0.1.

The newer versions have an "S" after the MGP part, like this:

XT1225_QUARK_RETEU_6.0.1_MPGS24.107-70.2-2_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

It denotes a security patch, I believe. That one is for September 2016 security patch and there was even another one in December 2016. The full firmware versions of those have never been uploaded by anyone I can see. You have to go to Motorola service centers to get those installed.

But if you successfully flashed that older 6.0.1 in full, and it worked, and you never took an OTA to update to those security patch versions, then we can try to re-flash that same version again.

2) With the phone turned off and fully charged, did you try the Volume Button up and Power Button push at the same time? That should prompt your phone to boot to the bootloader screen. It will not boot to your stock Marshmallow because something is messed up, but from the bootloader display, then you can connect to ADB and wipe/reflash firmware.

Read this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73547773&postcount=6

He had a Brazil XT1225, so do NOT use the firmware I suggested to him. You will need to use YOUR firmware again. IF you can boot to bootloader, using the volume and power buttons trick, connect to ADB, and reflash your firmware. Good luck!

The only other thing you can do is take it to Motorola service center.

3) Even if you wanted to go back to stock, you simply could have removed the bootloader warning screen. You didn't have to actually relock the bootloader, which sometimes (often?) doesn't remove the warning screen anyway. Also, in going back to stock firmware, you could have also kept TWRP custom recovery, which would be very useful at this time. :) (Either omit recovery.img from fastboot commands or reinstall TWRP.)

Going back to stock firmware doesn't mean you have to give up unlocked bootloader or custom recovery. When the XT1225 first came out and we had no custom ROMs, all of us were on stock firmware with xposed and Gravity Box (which gives you most of the features of a custom ROM). We had root, we had TWRP, we removed the bootloader warning screens of course -- but still we were technically on "stock" firmware.

Even now if some apps (which I refuse to use) demand locked bootloader, you can hide unlocked bootloader status with Magisk.
[Moto Maxx General] niralmunjariya:
After flashing the stock ROM I received OTA update and last security patch was December 2016.

I forgot to enable OEM unlocking and locked the bootloader, now whenever I start the device it stuck at the fastboot and bootloader logs says that failed to verify system image and nothing happens.

It doesn't allow me to go into Recovery Mode, I've received the unlock key but when I ran the "fastboot oem unlock <key>" it shows that please enable "Allow OEM unlocking" from the developer options.

What should I do? I've already raised the ticket to Motorola support but no one has responded. Can you please share that where can I get the latest stock ROM with the security patch as I had in my device.

Thanks a lot.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Ah, I was afraid of that. You have a newer bootloader (December 2016) than any full firmware image that has been posted. So, you cannot reflash your image. Motorola will have to help you. The newest images (December 2016) have been posted for Brazil but no other regions, like India.
[Moto Maxx General] sourav92:
No one can help you at this position except Motorola itself. Either you have to visit Motorola Service center or you have to wait till someone post /upload the updated firmware for your region.

Better to visit service center to make your device booted up with OS
