[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a_gert:
Any idea as to the status of the phone before you got it? The bootloader status of 0 means it is still locked and it appears from the versioning you listed that it was on 4.4.4 already, so I'm not sure why you'd be having signature verification issues reflashing 4.4.4. At this point, I am honestly just guessing, but perhaps try reflashing the partition table again (the first command with gpt.bin), then reboot the phone back into fastboot mode and try to do the other commands on a second pass?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yumi Chi:
the phone has to be off??? it wont turn off while usb connected ok im confused now .....the phone once charged boot only in fast boot she said it did work but she thought the battery was just going no harm was done to the device .. atm the phone is stating hab check failed for system

failed to validate system image
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yumi Chi:
Knowing my friend shes not one for updates she must have what ever update comes with this phone by default
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a_gert:
I was suggesting that after you do the mfastboot command to flash the gpt.bin file (which, from your log appeared to work corrrectly), you could then reboot the phone into fastboot mode (turn it off, turn it back on and get it back into fastboot mode) and then resume from step two. My only theory there was that it may need to actually reformat the partitions before you go back in and start flashing things and that might be why you have the error you do.

Question 30 at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2537119 suggests that if you are failing to flash 4.4.4 at this point, you may be stuck, so I'm just trying to walk through the steps I would try myself in your scenario.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yumi Chi:
Trying to find the default that comes with this phone is not my line knowledge ....

looking on a wiki this is some things i found

its a CDMA Version	XT1028 for Verizon

I have a feeling it may be this default that comes with it

Operating system	Android Jelly Bean 4.3[6] (Upgradable to Android 5.0 Lollipop[7])
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yumi Chi:
my friend never updates her phones .... I think its a 4.3 jellybean any way to check that theory and find a stock rom ?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a_gert:
The XT1028 originally shipped with 4.3 Jelly Bean, but it is no longer the stock ROM for this device. The part where you say it was recognized as "210.12.41.falcon_cdma.verizon.en.us" means that the device and bootloader have been updated to 4.4.4 KitKat, as that string would have been different were it still on 4.3 or 4.4.2.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yumi Chi:
ok ill give it another shot and try reflashing
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yumi Chi:
reformat the partitions how does one do this ?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a_gert:
Considering the phone in your hand is a Verizon model and the bootloader is locked, Best Buy has this model in stock for $30, just in case it comes to replacing it outright: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/verizon...lack/3041063.p?id=1219086346405&skuId=3041063
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yumi Chi:
each time ive gotten after gpt step one: no valid gpt found
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a_gert:
You were doing this when you followed the first mfastboot command that flashed the gpt.bin. Do that again, reboot the phone and go back into fastboot mode, and then resume from the second command on the list. This may or may not work, but it's all I can think to suggest.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a_gert:
Whenever something indicates FAILED, you really don't need to keep on with the following steps. What I find odd is that you are succeeding with a couple and then the remaining ones are failing. You can try to reboot after each step that succeeds, perhaps, if that helps.

The brightness on my phone keeps going down out of nowhere. I do not have auto brightness on not any battery saver. What could be causing this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] V J:
Hello,

I recently had my TyTN upgraded (sent it back for the screen alignment issue and asked for them to upgrade it). It now has version:

ROM version: 2.11.255.1

ROM date: 03/07/07

Radio version: 1.38.00.10

Protocol version: 32.71.7020.12h

ExtROM version: 2.11.255.102

I have some contacts which I have assigned a custom ringtone. This ringtone can be heard at the time of assignment. However, when that particular contact calls, the default ringtone is played back. This is despite the fact that the phone displays the name of the caller.

Any thoughts?

Jörg
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Trypticon:
Do you have anything installed like GSPlayer? If you have GSPlayer stealing file associations from Media Player then the ringtones won't work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] V J:
Interesting...

I have TCPMP installed, but .wav and .wma are played with the media player when opened from Explorer. I'll try uninstalling TCPMP just to be sure (come to think of it, I don't think I had it installed before to the upgrade).

I'll report if it is solved.

(any other things that might be the cause?)

Thanks!

Jorg
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] V J:
Uninstalling TCPMP didn't solve the issue. When I'm in the mood I'll do a hard reset and test if the problem already occurs on a clean installation. If it doesn't then another installed program is causing it.

Jorg
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] V J:
Dunno if anyone needs the info, but I have the impression HubDog (rss reader / podcast client) messes things up... :)

Jörg
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Studsted:
I have the same issue. I thought it might be because o rooted it but would like to know your outcome. I have greader app that is almost like the one you have. It would suck if the rss readers are doing that. I will try uninstaling as well. Thanks for the idea.

I would assume that it holds the metadata for the images stored in the DCIM folder. Could also be where android stores the thumbnails for videos under teh DCIM folder.

The DCIM structure is a standard that most companies follow (but this article doesn't specifically mention a .metadata folder):

If anyone has these, please let us all know as they are necessary to restore hard bricked phones using this method:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/how-to-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057

The XT1097 5.0 OTA and XT1095 5.1 soak OTA are hard bricking people's devices because they don't have adequate checks in them to not try to patch the bootloader if the person has previously upgraded then downgraded. The files that are necessary to restore the bootloaders on these hard bricked phones are:

MPRG8974.hex and 8974_msimage.bin (MSM8974_bootloader_singleimage.bin)

Please find a way to have these files released so people can fix their phones!!!!! Thanks.

Edited:

I have a copy of what appears to be the blankflash files for the XT1085, which is the Moto X 2014 sold in China.

https://mega.nz/#!44lCharY!JMHaSbk4qC0QnutDmU4tcB8UE7HwlksaQDDIO8xtLug

First - when I download the file in Chrome, it is blocked due to possible malware. I had to change my setting to download it. I am not sure why that occurred..

Second, I don't see the hex file in there, rather there is an mbn. Is the mbn the same as the hex file?

Third, the singleimage.bin is in there. I am assuming since the XT1085 uses the same processor as all of the other MX14's, these files should work for all MX14's but I don't know for sure.

I don't know much about the blankflash process so I can't answer questions about it. I don't know what to do with any of these files and I don't know if there are any issues with using the XT1085 blankflash files with other models of the MX14. I am posting these in case someone else does.
[X 2014 General] Khanov:
I already have those files, but the mbn Is useless, we need the MSM8974_bootloader_singleimage.bin*
[X 2014 General] RootTheMachine:
I was reading the other thread where this was being discussed. I would be willing to provide files if they can be obtained from my working phone.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
OK I will edit my title.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
I wish there were a way to do it but from all I have read, there is not. They basically have to be leaked because they have to be signed by motorola. The only way to create them would require that someone knows how to forge the signature. So I am hoping for a leak.

I wish I were wrong on that but that is what it looks like based on everything I read from people who were trying to create the files themselves and failed.
[X 2014 General] slogar25:
Did we check the fxz?
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
I did and from all I have read, it looks like the individual components of the .bin file are there but the problem is for the tool (blankflasher) to be used, they need to be combined into a single file with some partition table info and I believe the file must be signed.

I am basing this on what I read from other threads, I think it was a Droid Razr M thread, where people were trying to recreate the bin file for their phone.

I don't want to discourage anyone else from looking into this more as I could be wrong, but that is what it seemed to me.

Now they replace the MoBo without any question, even when i unlocked the bootloader asking Motorola the code to.

That's great news, what do you have Brazilian XT1097 in Brazil or some other country?

It all depends on the consumer protection laws in your country whether or not they can void your warranty for unlocking your BL. They can say it voids it all they want but at the end of the day, they have to follow the law.

Hi there everyone!

I hard bricked my Moto X 2014 pure edition about 2 months ago by downgrading to KitKat and then, very stupidly, taking the 5.0 OTA -.- ...

I am fully aware of why this happend, why is hasn't been fixed yet, but in my desperate struggle to fix my device, and after weeks of searching the web, something came up in my mind recently and i would like to share this with you guys...

Since the Moto X runs on the SnapDragon 801 chip, i was thinking if it was possible to get the MSM8974_bootloader_singleimage.bin files from another device running this processor, say the One Plus X for example, and then try to flash it using RSD lite or any other tool. I havent tried that by my self because now that i have a Linux PC, everything became much more difficult , cause now the Computer doesn't even recognize my phone as QHUSB_BULK (Probably has to do with the fact that Linux is a bit more annoying when it comes to driver recognition)...

Long Story short, i would like to know from you guys if this procedure could possibly work and if someone has the time to try it out, maybe on a Windows Computer, i am a bit too busy now with school exams, but i commit myself to give my very best at trying to fix this problem.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for any misspelled words, i am from Brazil =D

[X 2014 General] Lulzmaster:
But if you can get it in fastboot, shouldn't you theoretically be able to flash a stock 4.4 image to the phone and resurrect it? I wouldn't use it anymore (i got a Nexus 6P) but it sure would be nice to see the old girl alive again.
[X 2014 General] s5610:
You can't downgrade bootloader locked Motos, so trust zone being part of bootloader won't let you reflash lower (the kernel at least, sometimes system partition can be modified - Obake+Ghost platforms), but phone updated to 5.*, and bricked, sometimes can be resurrected to run on 5.* Android.
[X 2014 General] Pedro_2154:
Hi there s5610!

Man you have no idea how happy i am to know that someone finally managed to solve this issue, you literally made my day ?...

I am just a bit confused on you previous explanation about the "locked Moto" thing. When i bricked my XT1097 i was previously running CM12.1 (before flashing it, my moto x got out of the box with Android 5.0.1) and very stupidly, for some reason i downgraded to kitkat and took the 5.1 OTA again and voilà, got bricked.

Long story short, i would really appreciate if you could give us a brief explanation about the process you made to revive it, and which version os Android should i flash once it is live again. I suppose you simply flashed the blankflash file from RSD lite, am i right?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the bad grammar i am from Brazil
[X 2014 General] s5610:
Yes, it's a 100% chance to brick when you take OTA on downgraded Motorola phone, don't do that ever again )

Here is the story. I ruined my unlocked (better say neverlocked, because it's engineer prototype) XT1096 by flashing completely different firmware from other generation phone (XT907) by RSD Lite. It happened unintentionally - I forgot that there were 2 phones connected to USB, and pressed start. XT907 got its ROM, and 1096 got BRICKED :laugh: into Qualcomm 9008 mode. After some search I found this thread, downloaded those XT1085 blankflash files, and just launched executable. Phone lit up the screen, and I could flash complete bootloader set.
