The problem isn't with motorola, the ota's are done by the carrier. So if verizon's ota has issues it is because of verizon. Motorola sends them a sort of base to start from, then verizon makes the ota.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
The OTA scripts are written by Motorola and then they have to test the updated firmware on the carrier's network if they changed with anything having to do with connectivity.

The bootloader and partition table are Motorola's proprietary code. Motorola writes the OTA scripts - Verizon does not. It is the OTA scripts that are the problem. They need a simple IF-THEN statement in them:

IF bootloader version does not equal [insert previous bootloader version here]

THEN end script.

Hello guys!

I do recognize that this is an old thread and for what i've been reading here it seems like there isn't a solution yet, Motorola is simply ignoring our request to release the necessary files...

But about a week ago i hard bricked my MOTO X 2014 XT1097 (Brazilian version) after downgrading to 4.4.4 and taking 5.0 OTA, and so far my phone is completly dead, my computer (Linux Ubuntu) doesn't even recognize the device. I have searched on the web since then and only found a solution for the 2013 Moto X.

So i have 2 quetions:

>> Will the same procedure that fixed the Moto x 2013 work for my Moto x 2014? Someone here have already tried? Did it work?

>> I am planning to go to Motorola technical assistance facility here in Brazil and play dumb with them, sying that the phone brikced itself after taking the OTA (I don't know if it will work,but let's see) and i would like to know that if they manage to revive my device, will they be able to see that i have an unlock bootloader from the bootloader? I know that they can see via e-mail that i've asked them the unlock key, but can they see the "STATUS: UNLOCKED" from the bootloader?

I beg you guys to answer me, i am completly desperate...

Thanks!!
[X 2014 General] AGISCI:
No, the process for the 2013 won't work. We don"t have the necessary files.

Yes, from what I understand unlocking the bootloader blows a fuse. So if they revive it, it would show unlocked.

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 help anyone at trying to fix this problem.

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

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Guys, just to give some additional information about my last post, i've found the 8974_msimage.bin file from this One Plus X forum:

>> https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/3izejg/so_youve_just_bricked_your_oneplus/

You can download it for yourself, and see that there is in fact the necessary files =D, Let's just see if it works...

Maybe you should send a bug report to the go sms team. After all it is their app and they should be able to fix the issue.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
\windows\rings\

Theoretically you can put them on SD card and make a change to the registry but don't do it cos that can sverely delay ringing on icoming calls and even cause a crash.

Now as to MP3s the answer is yes but I suggest you use the google sticky search near the top of the messages listings to carry out searches on the hermes and MP3. That Google sticky post would also have answered your question about where to store ringtomes:)

Hey Mike

I know that a Scottish accent makes it difficult for many Americans to understand the Gaelic substratum, but I never knew that the spelling of English words was also that different in Scotland! :D

By the way, you never did tell me where the optimal folder for placing ringtones is located. One of the ringtone vendors said Windows\Ring was where they go, but when I opened the folder it was empty. I guess that the ringtones that came with the phone are in ROM or are in a different folder.

My little brother's Moto G 4G (XT1039) has no signal anymore.

The phone asks for the pin code at start-up, but does not get signal.

Signal indicator is displayed empty.

You can put the phone into airplane mode, but cannot get it out without rebooting first. The option is greyed out until rebooted.

Same SIM works fine with another phone.

Wifi works fine.

His phone is BL unlocked, with the rooted Kitkat stock rom. Worked fine for months, until now...

I already tried:

Factory reset.

Reflashed stock rom.

Flashed different rom -> same problem.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
I'm inclined to think the SIM is still the problem, even though you say it works in another phone. Try a SIM for different network / carrier if possible. I doubt flashing a different XT1039 Firmware image will change the situation, but you could also consider doing that.

If not network unlocked, this can be done cheaply via eBay.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoWannes:
I just tried:

another sim from same carrier (Belgium: Mobile Vikings) -> same problem

sim from another carrier (Belgium: Mobistar) -> same problem

Both of these sims are working in my OnePlus One and Lumia 635

After a fresh stock rom install (or a fresh boot), the phone asks for the PIN code, but is still in airplane mode (left pic).

You can disable it, but that doesn't change anything. Can't be enabled afterwards because option is greyed out (right pic).

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoWannes:
Found that button, pressed it, seems it did nothing.

If you take a look in the info above the button, radio is listed as 'off'.

On top of the Phone Info page, the "IMEI" and "phone number" are displayed. Should the "phone number" be the mobile phone number? Because it's not the same...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
If I press it, I connect to network - even if in airplane mode.

Is an IMEI actually listed? The phone number stated will be the number for the actual SIM - and may not be the real mobile phone number, if another number was transferred to that SIM.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoWannes:
I get no connection if I press that button.

Even 'disabled' aeroplane mode (as far as that's working) before pressing that button, no difference.

IMEI is listed.

The sim is a sim from a new provider, keeping the phone number from the old provider. So that explains the difference in SIM numbers.

(Switched nearly a year ago, should have no influence on current situation)

BTW, thanks for you replies so far.

I hope we can find a solution other than "the phone is broken".

You might want to take a look at the logcat when you press that Turn on Radio button on the service menu *#*#4636#*#*

It could give you some error information why the phone cannot make a signal.

Here's how to do it:

- make sure you have adb installed on your PC (search in the forum for minimal ADB installer)

- enable developer options

- enable usb debugging

- connect your phone via usb

- open cmd in your pc and type adb logcat > c:\logcat.txt

- accept the prompt in your phone.

- click the Turn on Radio from the service menu and wait 10~ seconds

- go back to the cmd and hit CTRL + C.

- upload the contents of c:\logcat.txt here, you might learn by your self what might be the problem as it's very human readable log

Good luck

I'm not familiar with Linux...

I'm confident the SIM lock is based on the SIM card itself. If you add a SIM lock on one phone, and put the SIM in another phone, you have to input the same PIN.

This is for XT1032 only, however if you (@protivaban) had the XT1039 files - it might also resolve your issue. OP and you are the only people to report the 'losing network' problem - so perhaps partitions from a working XT1039 would change things.
