The boot image contains the stock kernel. This command should be sufficient :

fastboot flash boot boot.img

[Moto G 2015 General] myxored:
Is that the same for me? Do I need to flash the bootloader with fastboot at all, ist this mandatory?
[Moto G 2015 General] Gravemind2015:
To flash a custom ROM, a custom recovery is required which in turn requires unlocked bootloader. Here is a guide.

Rooting is not necessary though, once you have TWRP running, just backup the stock ROM and flash a new one. Hope it helps :)

No, these images are not for TWRP or any recovery, you must use fastboot.
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
The information you have shown is of no relevance to the problem... If you are flashing the same version of firmware, factory reset in stock recovery, then flash it in fastboot, if it fails include the terminal log.

Hi

Based on the guide at https://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750 , I'm trying to flash my xt1543.

It has a 6.0_MPI24.65-33.1-2-16 version. The newer version that I founded in the forum is is 6.0.1_MPI24.107-55-2_cid12

fastboot oem fb_mode_set (returned okay, finished)

the next command was

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

U have locked bootloader, u can flash only the same or upper version of system.

Gpt, bootloader can end with error. Rest should be OK.

If not - u can't flash anything.

Maybe u should start with:

fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot oem lock begin

.

all fastboot commands

.

fastboot oem lock

[Moto G 2015 General] motog3honor:
Question concerning flashing

Hi there,

I softbroke my Moto G3 when removing SD card deleting some essential Apks. Now I want to reflash the original firmware with the help of this thread.

One thing I don't understand:

First it reads:

"WARNING: You must perform a 'Factory data reset' in Stock Recovery before flashing any Firmware Image"

If I look there it reads:

Factory data reset via Stock Recovery:

(1) Flash via fastboot stock recovery.img (found in firmware image zip)

(2) Turn your phone off.

(3) Press and hold Volume DOWN + POWER.

(4) In recovery menu press Volume down twice.

(5) Press power. You will see a red exclamation mark.

(6) Hold power down, then tap Volume UP.

(7) Go to Wipe data / Factory reset and press power button.

(8) Scroll to Yes - delete all user data and press power.

Ok, what does no. 1 one mean? So do I have to flash recovery.img first, and than go to 3) Fastboot Commands?

So No.1, flashing recovery.img is done by going to Bootloader mode and then executing

"fastboot flash bootloader recovery.img"? Or do I have to perform "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" ?

So I have to flash recovery.img twice? One before the actual flashing, and then during the flashing?

Because there's the command again:

"fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

[...]"

Bit confused here...
[Moto G 2015 General] Gravemind2015:
Yes.

1. Flash recovery via fastboot in bootloader (i.e fastboot) mode. To do that, power off>press power+volume down>an android would come on the screen with device details>connect to pc>open command prompt where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are located>execute-

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

(Assuming you've copied the firmware files to the location where fastboot.exe resides. Or else just copy fastboot, adb and 2 driver dlls into the folder where you've extracted the firmware and open command prompt from there)

Then scroll down in the phone (using volume down) till the text on the right shows "recovery". Press power to boot to recovery. Then if you only see "no command", press and hold power button and press volume up once, then release both keys. The menus should now be visible. Factory reset. Then poweroff again (you can long press power button for about 8-10 seconds for this).

Then boot again into the bootloader mode and start with flashing. You'll already have the stock recovery but it's included for a sense of complete flash (I think).

Hope it helps.

[Moto G 2015 General] SpiralX15:
The flashing process will flash both the stock recovery and rom. So you need not worry about either. Just follow the steps. First the recovery will be flash. All you need to do is boot to bootloader mode and use the instructions. Do not attempt to flash the bootloader though.

lost101 I have a serious problem

I as you know am now at the moment stuck in a mode that only shows the unlocked bootloader warning screen and a screen that shows only the android robot with the message "Erasing....." It just loop's between these two screens. My bootloader was upgraded during the process. My question to you is, is it possible to fastboot the 5.1.1 bootloader and still be okay, while restoring back to 5.1.1 and still receive OTA updates?
[Moto G 2015 General] Sal12538:
I used all the commands listed but not these two

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I guess I made a mistake, but I've never used Motorola phone before, and not performing these commands shouldn't overwrite the bootloader and recovery and deem the phone unusable. Am I correct? Maybe the partition command may have caused this, but anyways, phone as hard as a brick... and I have been exploring, and have found out that The 1st gen and 2nd gen are capable of being un-bricked, since the required files for this process were somehow indirectly provided by Motorola, again, is this the case? Thanks for looking into the matter!
[Moto G 2015 General] lost101:
As I state in the FAQ, downgrading Bootloader is extremely dangerous and probably will not work. I would suggest skip flashing Bootloader and only flash 5.1.1 sparsechunks and 5.1.1 recovery - then erasing userdata. Maybe then you can catch the OTA Update to Marshmallow once again. As you see below - a certain percentage of people are hard-bricking with these Firmware Images and there is no obvious cause. If you can at all wait - the safest thing might be to flash the Marshmallow Factory Firmware Image when it arrives in a few weeks.

My experience is entirely with Moto G (1st Gen / Falcon) - and there has never been a case of hard-bricking flashing Factory Firmware Images. I have myself skipped commands and never had a problem. The fact that you skipped Bootloader and recovery is unlikely to be the cause of the hard-brick - it has still happened to people that included those commands.

Unfortunately it's still a mystery as to why this is happening to a small percentage of users. I am not aware of a Firmware Image for Osprey that includes the required files to unbrick Lollipop hard-bricks. The files may arrive, but it's not guaranteed to happen. Falcon users have been waiting almost a year for a Lollipop Unbrick method.

It might be worth knowing that with Falcon, OTA Updates have hard-bricked phones.
[Moto G 2015 General] Tel864:
Something that should be reported to the proper place and it you are soak testing, you know where I mean. Of course, what you just stated is against the soak test rules.
[Moto G 2015 General] shadie21:
Thank you
[Moto G 2015 General] Sal12538:
Sure sure, I understand. This phone has been released for like 4 months now. Development is fast, but now I should wait, or find someone with experience on the Osprey firmwares, since this is pretty bad for a phone to get bricked without some specific reason. I have unbricked many phones easily (since they had strong support in the forums) but maybe buying a Motorola was a mistake, and now I am not in the US, people have easily gotten their phones replaced (even bootloader unlocked ones) since this state of brick doesn't show any signs of tampering with software :/ Anyways, going back to Nokia for the time being, Thanks man! I'll just have to wait for a miracle, or send my phone back for a replacement (through a friend).
[Moto G 2015 General] sgloki77:
people shouldn't be messing with soak tests, since this device has proven to be extremely brick happy

every time you fire up fastboot you are playing russian roulette, I've never seen something like it, fastboot should be the safest thing in the world to upgrade factory images

keep the flashing to a minimum and wait for the official firmware
[Moto G 2015 General] hp420:
Dafuq are you talking about??? Show me a laundry list of users claiming bricks from PROPER use of fastboot and I'll concede....but that is FAR from the case!!

Also, the soak test is an OTA, not factory image....so....yeah.....moot point regardless.
[Moto G 2015 General] sgloki77:
calm your tits man [emoji4] plenty of people bricking their devices flashing official Motorola firmware, now we have a brick by a user taking the soak test, people need to be careful and stay calm
[Moto G 2015 General] hp420:
You make it seem like this is a huge widespread issue and it's far from the case....every device gets bricks. It happens. Perhaps it's you who needs to relax!! Spreading a fear among users does absolutely nothing to make matters better!! Seeing a small number (as is the case here) is far from a reason to panic and tell everyone flashing may brick your device. That's an inherent risk, and the amount of bricks from factory images is not exactly out of the ordinary.

Hearing about OTA bricks is a little bit concerning, but still not anywhere widdespread enough to raise a panic about.

Btw, I'm running the exact same soak test...flashed it twice, as a matter of fact. Same phone model and everything....he and I have spoken at a good length in private. I'm well aware of his issue and we are working together to find a solution.
[Moto G 2015 General] Tel864:
IMHO, 75% of the people doing the bricking have no business even flashing a rom, they're doing it because it's cool and their friends are doing it. If it's done exactly right using the rom you're supposed to use, odds are you won't brick.
