Please like and subscribe to my youtube channel to encourage me to create more tools for the members of xda ! I really really appreciate it
Moto Downgrade Tool is a tool that I have quickly created to SAFELY downgrade android marshmallow to android lollipop on the XT1541 model.
You need Python 3.5 installed to run this program !!
make sure your phone is plugged into your pc and in fastboot mode when you start the tool.
INSTALL MOTO DRIVERS BEFORE USING THE TOOL !!!!
ADB and Fastboot is included in the downgrade tool.
Please comment if you have any issues ! This tool has been tested a few times by myself on my phone. , so it is guaranteed to be able to function correctly !

Keep going on Master!
Sorry for the off topic questions
I'm searching a Rom with multi window feature + floating windows apps like last Sammy's roms for XT1541 do you know any?
Currently using last Resurrection Remix from Vatsal that have multi window but not floating windows
One off topic more:
I have XT1541 European version obtained in Spain but I'm using it in Argentina and my mobile connection (4g) its very slow
I have to change the modem or something else?
Thanks a lot mate!

No need to be sorry for off topic questions !
About the rom , i am not to sure about finding a rom with floating windows , but i would like that aswell !
Also , about using a european device in a different location, this is probably due to different network bands. I would NOT reccomend you flash another models modem, as this could hard brick your phone .
I foyu have any other questions, dont hesitate to ask !

I want to downgrade from stock mm(not rooted) to LP, possible?

Using my tool , yes ! . Remember not to accept ota tho

How are you doing the downgrade without having the bootloader unlocked???
Also, is this flashing EVERYTHING, including the bootloader and partition table, or is this just a tool to perform the "normal" downgrade of flashing a factory firmware image and skipping gpt.bin and bootloader.img?

This tool flashes SIGNED images, which means it does not need bootloader unlock. Also , it skips gpt.bin and bootloader.img . It is a normal downgrade, but i made this tool for people who dont want to risk bricking their phones typing the wrong command or accidentally flashing gpt.bin or bootloader.img

So if I use fastboot and flash a lp I just need to skip those 2 files right?

Downgrading from Rooted Stock MM
I have the XT1541 rooted on stock MM, can i downgrade to stock lollipop without bricking the phone ?
I also flashed the squid kernel r15b (latest)

No need to use fastboot if you trust my programming . but yes , skip gpt.bin and bootloader.IMG and you will be fine my program automatically does that

Hello does my xt1541 need to be unlocked and rooted for this tool to work and downgrade from mm to lollipop?

Downgrade using fastboot it's not possible without unlocked bootloader, that's why I think it didn't work.

Yes, I flashed the xt1541 vodafone EU that was on my phone (now I'm on vodafone 6.0), did you think that it's better I flash the no brand eu version?
edit: same errors with the retail eu

XT1575 stuck in bootloop, bootloader is locked, how do I fix my phone?

This phone has not been rooted or unlocked, I was running official MM OTA when suddenly last night it stopped booting. The Moto logo appears and then it goes to black and stays there for eternity while draining battery. I tried going into recovery mode and wiping cache + factory reset, but it didn't help. The "restore-to-stock" tool floating around the internet fails as well:

If I attempt to unlock the bootloader I get '(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.' - which I can't do since the phone is bricked.
What can I do?

Image is too large messgae
Hi,
I followed the steps provided in the readme doc and when I run the EASY INSTALLER.bat file and select option 1, I am consistently seeing 'Image is too large' on my phone screen when in AP Fastboot Flash Mode. If after waiting for this process I exit using option 6 and attempt to reboot my phone then my phone always boots into AP Fastboot Flash Mode with the following message:
Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode
How do I get my phone to boot? I take it the images failed to write and the phone no longer has a ROM to use, is this correct? Any help would be much appreciated.
My installer.bat output is as follows when selecting option 1:
Choose a option:
1 - Flash stock ROM
2 - Flash stock ROM and ReLock
3 - Flash Fixed Logo
4 - Reboot Phone
5 - Factory Reset
6 - Exit

For the safer side you should unlock the bootloader because the bootloader itself is a firmware which is OS dependent and some bootloader versions wont work for 6.0.

It seems you are trying to downgrade your bootloader , which is not possible for now with the normal flashing method. And another thing dont play with gpt and bootloader if you dont want your device in hard brick. !

Idk what does @__Madddy wants to say, but here's the deal. You cannot downgrade gpt.bin. Also, if it says "signed image is corrupted" don't worry. It still got flashed. Seems like moto is trying to give us the impression that something is wrong but nothing like that. Just flash and boot up. But if your are trying to flash TWRP, don't boot up. Instead, go straight to the recovery by pressing volume down button 2 times and then pressing the power button the moment after it is flashed. When you flash TWRP and you normally bootup while in stock ROM , the stock ROM replaces your TWRP recovery with stock recovery.
Hope I have helped.

This doesn't mean he's flashing TWRP.
If he flashed TWRP and got the error, then what you're saying is correct.

No, he just linked to another post asking him to read from post 14. If you see that, although this error is mentioned but the REASON for the bug is not mentioned. In that post, it's just a guy who flashed the wrong stock ROM and that's it.
I think
@gpav11 wants to know why he couldn't do it and so I explained the reason why he couldn't do it. Also, I mentioned about TWRP just in case. I clearly didn't mean he was going to flash it cause is added the word "but".

Team,
I tried the rom given in the link also.
Still i get the issue of not able to lock the bootloader
Please help.
i used this G4_XT1641-XT1643_ATHENE_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-13.1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip which doesnt give an update after the flashing but gives me errors and cant lock the phone back.
i used this one also XT1626-XT1640-XT1641_ATHENE_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-23.1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.Zip , update after flashing but it also gives me the same errors and cant lock the phone back.

Moto X Force XT1581 : SIM found, but no carrier after fastboot update

Hello all,
I'm from France, I just get one XT1581 (Moto X Force from China), all was ok, but I was frustrated when i saw that it was stucked in 5.1.1, with no updates.
So I flashed with 6.0 MX (for Mexico...found that AFTER), and if SIM is found (SIM code is needed), no carrier at all. But when i go to mobile network settings, I can see that he got apn settings from the SIM (my provider apn is here).
I downloaded an EU 6.0, flashed it : WIFI is OK, SIM is found (SIM code is needed), but no carrier. Exactly as if i was MX version.
I tried to flash back to 5.1.1 CN, worse : no SIM detected (SIM code not needed), no WIFI (if I activate WIFI, it auto deactivate 1 second after).
I don't know what to do now
Please help !
Are you sure that you got all OK after flashing with fastboot? Do you see IMEI?
Thanks for your reply,
Yes I see IEMI.
Do you think I would be able to use XT1581 (from China) in 6.0 and get carrier ?
I will try to flash 5.1.1CN with fastboot another time.
EDIT : flashed

After a last mfastboot reboot, the smartphonerebooted and i got WIFI and modem but...no more playstore ??
I flashed this one XT1581_KINZIE_RETCN_DS_5.1.1_LPK23.229-1_cid11_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
Moto do not support/recommend downgrade. Maybe you can flash only radio but most probably radio for 5.1.1 will not be compatible with 6.0 and vice versa.
Understood.
For now, i'm unable to install apps because no playstore in this ROM.
Do you think I can install EU ROM 5.1.1 without any problems, or do I need to flash specific file from CHINA ROM, and if yes, wich ones ?
You play with fire, flashing older version, then newer, etc.
Once modem flash failed but you repeated and then was successful. Do you have network now? Everything works? Except playstore?
Yes, many apps in chinese, but no playstore.
EDIT :
I progress : I finally managed to have :
system in EU 5.1.1,
carrier is working,
playstore is present,
bluetooth is working,
But no WIFI
You're still flashing like crazy. You may end with the bricked device...
Try to calm down. Looks like that everything works with Chinese rom, except playstore. Did you have playstore when you just got your phone from China?
When you got fully working device (carrier, wifi, bt...), try to flash Android only (without radio, etc.) but for the same version as the working rom. If that is gonna work, then you can try to flash latest available Androi. But again, only system, no radio, etc.
Disclaimer, whatever you do is strictly up to you. I'm not responsible if you brick your device.
You're right, I'm in panic :/
Okay so :
When I just received the phone, ROM was CN, and playstore was working.
1. If I flashed CN ROM 5.1.1, all is working, but no playstore.
2. If I flashed EU ROM 5.1.1, playstore, but no WIFI no carrier.
3. I tried what you were saying : I installed CN ROM, then flash system and only system from EU ROM : no WIFI but carrier is ok.
I'm so stucked :/
Panic is bad for troubleshooting. I know, is hard to calm down but is highly recommended.
Strange, what a hell happened with the playstore?! It was working with CN rom and, as far I understand, you flashed back the same CN rom and now playstore is missing. Are you sure that you logged in with google account? Have you checked under apps? Maybe is disabled?
There's a way to flash playstore separatelly but bootloader must be unlcocked, custom recovery flashed... I don not recommend you to do that for now. It is better to figure out what happened with playstore in the original rom.
When you're on the current rom, check wifi advanced. Check logcat, maybe dmesg, to see what's system is reporting when you try to turn on wifi. Maybe will give you idea what's wrong with wifi.
I can't be sure this is the same ROM. This is the only CN ROM i found and 874MB, I guess this one don't have GAPPS.
For the bootloader : I can assure you I didn't do anything with that, but in fastboot mode there is 2 yellow lines saying : "Unlocked" and "Software : Modified"
I think for their EU customers, they flash their XT1581 with GAPPS, and to do that, they unlocked bootloader.
With that in my head, I do something you will say stupid (but actually, I thought !) :
I downloaded via Opengapps.org the good gapps,
I downloaded TWRP-3.0.2.0-KINZIE.IMG from xda,
I flashed full CN ROM 5.1.1,
I typed "mfastboot boot twrp-3.0.2.0-KINZIE.IMG".
And in TWRP I installed GAPPS, wiped dalvik, rebooted.
Cache has been reconstructed, WIFI is alive, carrier is good, 4G is on, Playstore and all others GAPPS are up
I thank you very much, your help, your kindness were really helpfull.
Merry christmas to you, and to me
Well, if bl is already unlocked then you did right thing
And yes, afaik in China phones are usually without gapps. Strange is that Moto is selling such phones.
I'm glad that you've managed to fix your phone. Merry Christmas to you as well

Hay
I have the same problem you have (had).
Please can you explain to me what you exactly did to go back to 5.1. and with a working playstore and wifi etc?
a desperate newbie
I've got kind of the same problem.
I bought a Chinese XT1581 and flashed the Mexican rom right after the phone arrived. Because I still had another mobile as my main-phone I didn't try to use the cellular connection. Everything else, including wifi, was working just fine.
Well, today I put in my Sim-card. It was detected, buy the phone can't find any services.
I tried to go back to the Chinese rom I found on this forum, but after flashing it (as described in this Thread) it didnt. Neither the cellular connection nor the wifi worked.
No I flashed it back to the Mexican rom, wifi is working again, but not the radio.
Does someone know how I could get a fully working phone again?

Fastboot Drivers

Hello guys,
I know this question is very common but I have looked many posts and couldn't find any that solved my problem.
I am trying to flash the stock moto X pure edition (xt1575) again in my device. The trouble starts because fastboot doesn't work.
I already installed Motorola device manager (2.5.4) and booted windows without driver signature enforcement.
I tried adb-setup-1.4.3.exe and installing android SDK, but still get same trouble.
The phone works and get normally funcional when android is loaded, but no responde in fastboot screen!
I am using windows 10.15063.296 (creators update). When I open device manager, now I see "Motorola adb device" with an exclamation.
A lot of windows, especially windows 10, users seem to struggle with drivers. I use Linux and never have any problems.
Maybe you could give this a try. https://www.xda-developers.com/forget-windows-use-linux-is-a-usb-bootable-distro-for-your-android-recovery-needs-xda-spotlight/

Thanks. After hours trying, I could get fastboot working.
The issue now is that I got "preflash failed" when trying the officially image available.

Just on bootloader and gpt.bin, or everything?
That happens when you try to downgrade the partition table, but usually as long as you flash all the other parts successfully it works. Keep a close eye on the output when you flash modem; it tends to fail on the first try.
