[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hand_solo:
I have the XT1032 3G Global GSM single SIM variant. I'm quite sure you picked the right firmwares for me :good::good: The only thing I want to understand is -- why are we trying to downgrade to 4.4? I have read people have completely bricked their phone trying to go from Lollipop to Kitkat. I have already said this, I am now so desperate, I will try anything if there a small chance it will work.

I am now going to repeat the steps without gpt or motoboot. I'll get back with the results shortly.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuelcr93:
mmm sorry for a second i thought tha maybe you had xt1040/ xt1039 variant or dual sim variant.

well sometimes making a downgrade to kitkat fixes bootloader issues.

to avoid a hardbrick we dont flash motoboot.img, because it contains bootloader so if we try to go from 41.1a to 41.13 (4.4.4 bootloader) it will cause a hardbrick.

the gpt (partition table) that i uploaded its modified so its safe to flash

but dont worry you phone is not bricked

and since the beginning you have had the same error, so your phone is intact

also i found out that stock 5.0.2 US contains 41.1a bootloader so you had 5.0.2 afterall, sorry for that mistake xD

if flashing 4.4.4 doesnt help try again with 50.2 https://mega.nz/#!P44wDQoC!CA4irG_MTlNS6jgTavIAHGf-7fQY-eT8UWsFyYEM5Uw

or 5.1 but type all commands

sometimes you have to charge the phone to min 50% battery to make it work

sorry for making you flash all this files xD
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hand_solo:
Ok, but somehow the firmware links you posted were for XT1032. I double checked. :D So that's all good.

What bothers me is the "failed to partition" error when trying to flash gpt. I've got this error for every version of android I have tried. I haven't tried the 4.4 yet.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuelcr93:
Mmm yeah that's the problem

For some reason the fastboot don't finish the process

Can you try with "fastboot oem unlock"? just to make sure the bootloader was unlocked completely
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hand_solo:
So I copied the 4.4 firmware folder to c:\ it can't get shorter than that right?

I skipped flash gpt and motoboot, like you said. Fastboot flash logo gave me this.

C:\samsreco>mfastboot devices

Then I flashed boot.img, and got this:

C:\samsreco>

I stopped at the last command. This is what the device looked like after I had run the above commands.

Oh, and I tried flash oem unlock, but got the message that bootloader was already unlocked. I will try 5.0.2 as you suggest, but I have tried it before, I even have the firmware you linked in your post.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuelcr93:
Mmmm is so strange

Can you try only "mfastboot erase userdata" and "mfastboot erase cache" ?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hand_solo:
Sorry, didn't that didn't work either.

C:\samsreco>mfastboot devices

C:\samsreco>

Device screen didn't say anything useful:

cmd: erase:userdate
cmd: erase:cache

I still have't tried doing 5.0.2 like you said. Do you know what could cause "Failed to erase partition" errors?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuelcr93:
Mmm sometimes is a softbrick if you downgrade or if you flash a wrong gpt like gpe gpt but since the first time that you tried to flash showed the same error right?

Have you tried reinstalling the Motorola and adb drivers? Or flashing using other pc?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hand_solo:
You know, I think I will try that... flash from another PC and see if that works.

Hey [MENTION=6983774]samuelcr93[/MENTION], I tried on a PC with Windows 7, and it didn't work (I was using a Windows 8 laptop until now). A search of the error ("Failed to program partition table") brought me here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798. It sounds like my problem. I think I am going to try this. Tell me if you think I should not.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuelcr93:
Mmm yeah I found that same guide yesterday but only works with a 4.4.4 bootloader if you do that it will cause a hard brick

Also I found this other guide maybe it can help you

http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/general/guide-restore-softbricked-phone-t2965459
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hand_solo:
Damn, I just saw that too.

Thanks for the other guide. It assumes you can flash a custom recovery, run ADB, etc. I can't do any of those things. That's why I wanted to know how I could flash a custom recovery. I feel at this point my options are limited.

I have hit my limit of 8 thanks for the day, so I can't even :good: your post. If you are out of ideas too, then I think it is time for me to make peace with my situation, and move on.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuelcr93:
Mmmm have you tried to flash another stock firmware like EU or Brazil?

Or convert it to GPE?

What happens when you try to go into recovery mode?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hand_solo:
No, I didn't try anything other than the US stock. Oh, yes I tried GPE too, but I'm not sure if I went through with "converting" it. I just passed the standard Fastboot commands for flashing new firmware. I haven't tried installing EU or Brazil or Asia or anything else.

If I try to boot into recovery, it just goes into the same bootloop... or at least looks like it. I did not have a custom recovery, and now I can't flash one. I can't flash any stock recovery either, as you can see in my screen prints.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuelcr93:
Mmm well maybe flashing those won't make a difference unfortunately.

Seems like the ota update somehow broke the bootloader
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hand_solo:
Well, thank you so much for being such an awesome guru. Even though it did not work out, I still owe you a huge one for everything you did for me. I got to learn from your methods, which I think will help me with my next Android phone! (never gonna give you up, even though you let me down ;) I'm sure it is somehow my fault).
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuelcr93:
Your welcome bro

I'm sorry that it didn't work

Unfortunately sometimes Motorola phones are a bit tricky

I have problems with mine too ( I can't copy or move my files from the phone to PC every time I try it just deletes my files )

If you make it work let me know [emoji106]

hi, nice one with @ tag..

you've got my attention ;)

looks like you've got messed up partition table, so you won't be able to flash any image.

weird thing is that fastboot didn't flash GPT file.

without this step i don't think that you can go any further...

what versions of GPT have you tried? 4.4.4 5.0 5.1?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maclane:
Hello community, I need your help.

I have a Samsung S3 GT-I9300 (not rooted) and the problems began with a sometimes flickering display at approximately ~60% accumulator loading state.

The phone went off. After that the S3 could be switched on and worked ok.

Over 2 months the intervals for that behaviour became shorter and were more frequent.

Then on one day a message appeared such as that a new OS will be installed although NO new OS was downloaded! :confused:

I misinterpreted the situ, carried out NO backup and the following was that the S3 is now stuck on the samsung logo.

After removing the accumulator this ended and after reinserting the samsung logo appeared again.

The next behaviour was I connected the S3 via USB cable to load the accumulator then suddenly the accumulator symbol stayed gray and freezed. :confused:

I tried to reconnect, nothing changed. (I loaded the accumulator with the S3 of my friend and it worked)

Also now I cannot connect via USB with a PC, which worked always before the "crash".

Then I tried to enter the recovery mode.

The displayed message was:

Obviously the S3 is no more bootable. Probably caused by a hardware defect...

My next idea was to install a file manager to save the datafiles (contacts, whatsapp chats, viber chats, telegram chats, etc.)

I found an information about the AROMA-Filemanager (e.g. aromafm-1.91.zip) which is stated to work by booting from the external SD-card.

The displayed message was then:

So now I'm really helpless, what to do to get access to the datafiles...

The outlined facts:

1. there ist no working booting system on the S3

2. the usb port is not working

3. AROMA-Filemanager on SD card does not work

The essential question for me is compared to PC's: is it possible to get successfully access to the system such as 'knoppix software' for pc partitions?

What is the meaning of -- Appling Multi-CSC... ??

Is there a chance to flash e. g. an OI File Manager?? :confused::confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpadhu:
Try to flash the stock ROM using Kies.

Open Kies and select the option similar to 'Initilize' from the menu bar.

You need to plug the phone to the PC via USB cable after booting into the download mode.

Before that, make a note of the S/N of your phone which is at the back of the phone. Will be visible after removing the battery.

Kies will ask for this S/N so after entering the S/N the process starts.

Check if this works. But your old data in your internal storage will be lost.

Then after more tries the connect sound appeared and in the Windows devicemanager the 2 entries popped up!

use of launcher for oi file manager

Hello community,

what about the following concept:

Eventually I just ended up doing a soft reset.

If anyone else here is having this issue and is worried about the picture not being there, it still saved the picture for me. If you go to the location where all your pictures are saved (usually somewhere in a folder named camera roll) and find a ".jpg.tmp" file, this can be renamed to just ".jpg" and you are able to see the picture.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] john-medeiros:
Hi!

Almost people will recomend you to reset your phone. ( Always reset for any problem, I hate it).

I solve this with just formating my SD Card and specifying a cluster size bigger than default.

I suspect that "Saving" on camera is only because occurs an write overload on SD card. So, by using a cluster size bigger than default (Default is 32Kb If I'm not mistaken) you can increase your SD Card I/O.

I use the exFAT filesystem, with 256Kb. I used my computer to format the SD. My SD Card is a Extreme 32Gb.

The biggest error, is to not make a backup of your stock system.img before flashing.

I encountered the error #11, and fixed it by flashing back to stock, then flashing the correct rooted system image version.

It's caused by flashing a system image that doesn't match your current installed software version.

Ie- you have 10g installed but attempt to load a rooted 10o system image, or vice versa.
