[GUIDE][Osprey] Fastboot Flashing Factory Firmware Images

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything that happens as a result of flashing these files. Your destiny is your own.​
Based on existing tutorial by @t-bon3. This guide has been created as a hard-brick occurred using the old Moto G (1st Gen) tutorial. Please exercise extreme care with Fastboot, and only use the commands mentioned here. Experimenting with Fastboot commands can seriously damage your phone.
How to Fastboot Flash Moto G (3rd Gen) Factory Firmware Images​
Required Files:
Motorola Drivers: Download
Latest Fastboot | ADB (Windows | Linux): Download (Windows 10 users may need this pack for Drivers to work.)
Factory Firmware Images: [INDEX][Osprey] Moto G Factory Firmware Images​
WARNING: You must perform a 'Factory data reset' in Stock Recovery before flashing any Firmware Image - instructions here.​
Instructions:
1) Extracting Fastboot and Firmware Images:
Extract zip for chosen Firmware Image to a folder with a simple directory structure. For example: C:\motog_firmware\
Extract the adb-fastboot-latest_win_linux.zip into this folder.​
2) Reboot the phone into 'Bootloader mode' and preparing PC for flashing
Windows:
Entering Fastboot mode:
------------------------------------
i) The 'hardware' way.
a) Unplug the USB cable and power off the phone.
b) Press and hold 'Volume down' then power on the phone.
c) Connect USB cable to your computer.
ii) The 'software' way.
a) Enable developer mode on the Moto G (Settings-> 'About Phone'. Tap 7 times on 'Build Number')
b) Enable USB debugging. (Settings -> 'Developer options' -> 'USB Debugging' -> check)
c) Connect phone to computer via USB, you should see a new ADB device detected and drivers installed.
d) Open Command Prompt, navigate to the Firmware / ADB folder (i.e CD C:\motog_firmware ) and type:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Linux:
Entering Fastboot mode:
------------------------------------
i) The 'hardware' way.
a) Unplug the USB cable and power off the phone.
b) Press and hold 'Volume down' then power on the phone.
c) Connect USB cable to your computer.
ii) The 'software' way. (Requires ADB to be already installed - see below)
a) Enable developer mode on the Moto G (Settings-> 'About Phone'. Tap 7 times on 'Build Number')
b) Enable USB debugging. (Settings -> 'Developer options' -> 'USB Debugging' -> check)
c) Connect phone to computer via USB
d) Navigate to the Firmware folder, right-click and open terminal and type:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Installing ADB / Fastboot:
-------------------------------------
Flashing via Linux LiveCD: (Put factory firmware files on an external usb drive / pen)
--------------------------------
a) Download Ubuntu LiveCD
b) Burn to DVD or write to USB pen
c) Restart PC, Boot from DVD into Ubuntu
d) Open Terminal and type the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot​
e) Test fastboot by typing: sudo fastboot devices
You should see:
<serial number> fastboot​f) You are now ready to flash the fastboot files
​
3) Fastboot Commands:
Do commands manually, one at a time - checking that each one returns an [OKAY].​
NOTE: Do not simply copy and paste these commands! - system.img_sparsechunks may differ in number and name.
Always check contents of folder you're working with. You must flash all of the sparsechunk files you have.​

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR MODEL
FLASHING WRONG FIRMWARE CAN DESTROY A PHONE​

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I restore Factory Firmware if my Bootloader is locked?
Yes. However attempting to downgrade to an older version of Android may fail - 'Preflash validation' error. Even with an unlocked Bootloader, downgrading cannot be guaranteed. It's also important to be aware that flashing the wrong Bootloader (bootloader.img) for your model can have serious consequences. Always establish your model of Moto G before flashing.
I get a 'Preflash validation' error when flashing a Firmware Image
The Firmware Image you are trying to flash is too old. You can only flash a firmware image that matches, or is newer than the most recent system version you have had on your phone. However the former scenario can also sometimes return the error. In which case, your options are to wait for an even newer firmware image or unlock Bootloader and flash a ROM zip.
After flashing Firmware Image files phone gets stuck during boot-up | will not load Android?
Check you are naming the files correctly, and make sure you are flashing all of the 'sparsechunk' files - not just those mentioned in the tutorial. The 'sparsechunk' commands listed there are not to be copied exactly, different firmware images may have different files.
How to flash Radio Firmware only?
Use the following fastboot commands:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn​
How do I downgrade to an older Firmware?
Downgrading carries risks, and may result in constant nagging notifications to update Android. Decide carefully if this is really what you want. With earlier generations of Moto G flashing bootloader.img and gpt.bin has resulted in a hard-brick. Avoid flashing these files if you are trying to downgrade. The safer option is to find a custom Stock ROM with OTA Updates disabled.
Fastboot in Linux is not working?
In Linux, root access is required for Fastboot and/or ADB to work.
sudo fastboot devices​

Hi @lost101
Need a clarification in the 3rd point (fastboot commands),
Whether it's
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
OR
fastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img

From the Firmware Images I've checked; the file is called: bootloader.img and the partition: bootloader
EDIT: This information is based on the servicefile.xml included with many of these firmware images.

Hey im new here and with rooting
i recently rooted my phone but now when i try to start up the screen goes black.
im downloading the file now can someone tell my how to flash the firmware succesfully?
model: xt1541 moto g 2015
pleas reply thanks

Help to change my firmaware
Dear Lost101,
First at all, thanks for your post.
I was trying to change the firmware of my phone, because I live in Argentina and use a different band for 4G LTE Spain (where I bought the phone).
My Moto G3 is XT1541, and I need the XT1540.
When I was changing the firmare, I had problems when I wrote "fastboot flash boot boot.img"... The command shows "FAILED". Then, I change the model, put again the firmare XT1541, and everything will be right again.
Do you know why I couldn't flash with XT1540?
Best regards and thanks in advance!

Flashing a different Model Firmware will not magically unlock or change Band support. Maybe with an unlocked Bootloader you can flash another Model's Firmware, but proceed with caution as you could end up with a dead phone.

Thanks Lost101.
Really I dont looking for change my firmware, but I suppuose that this could be a way to change the cell band....
Do you know or you heard about some way to change band support?

There is this guide for Moto G (1st Gen) and this universal guide - however I don't know if either will work for you or what damage trying them might cause.

Thnak you very much Lost101!

just a small tip you can copy all text and flash then paste it in CMD it will flash all the partitions no need to enter manually one by one

Dear all,
I have a XT1541, and flash my Moto G3 with a XT1540 and XT1543 firmwares without problems. However I had to unblock the phone before flash it.
Lost101 I can confirm you that replace the model firmware DO NOT change the band frequencies... Thanks again for your warnings!

Very useful guide. Everything is working fine.

This usually occurs when attempting to Flash a Firmware Image older than the one currently installed. Unlocking Bootloader will often remove this error.
You can normally skip this command and still successfully flash Android.

Flashable stock rom

I need the flashable stock rom for 2.21.40.30. Can someone give me the link

All the ROM downloads can be found here: https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/2/96nqlxHp1VKV4Rdz/32/
Firmware you want:
WW SKU (recommended)
TW SKU
CN SKU
CHT SKU
It's always recommended to after downloading the ZIP (on any stock version), reboot to droidboot then:
Guide for Zenfone 5 (T00J - A501CG, T00F - A500CG) only!
From inside the ZIP, extract the files fastboot.img (note that sometimes fastboot.img comes as droidboot.img), recovery.img and ifwi.zip
From ifwi.zip extract the files dnx_fwr_ctp_a500cg.bin and ifwi_ctp_a500cg.bin
Now, flash the files in the following order (via droidboot):
NOTE: The first line below, the fastboot.img I mention is of 2.21.40.30, use this fastboot image to flash a dnx and a ifwi. Other ones may not work! As you using this version, I'm not sending you it separately
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash dnx dnx_fwr_ctp_a500cg.bin
fastboot flash ifwi ifwi_ctp_a500cg.bin
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
It's also ULTRA recommended that you erase your data and cache:
Code:
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
Now flash the ROM via adb sideload on recovery
I recommend doing this before flashing any stock ROM when coming from a custom ROM.
Thanks

No I meant flashable from TWRP recovery. I learned that method by heart

In cmd typing "adb devices" shows empty list.
all drivers are already installed.
my phone is not shown in 'adb usb" also.

YD201 Hardbrick...?

Hi everybody...I'm in trouble with my Yotaphone YD201.
I done format data with TWRP.
Then, I run these commands with Win10 for clean flash of RU144:
Code:
fastboot flash boot {Directory_firmware/boot.img}
fastboot flash -S 512M system {Directory_firmware/system.img}
fastboot flash recovery {Directory_firmware/recovery.img}
fastboot flash cache {Directory_firmware/cache.img}
fastboot flash modem {Directory_firmware/radio/NON-HLOS.bin}
fastboot flash sbl1 {Directory_firmware/radio/sbl1.mbn}
fastboot flash rpm {Directory_firmware/radio/rpm.mbn}
fastboot flash tz {Directory_firmware/radio/tz.mbn}
fastboot flash userdata {Directory_firmware/userdata.img}
fastboot flash aboot {Directory_file__emmc_appsboot.mbn}
fastboot reboot
After the last one, Screen gone black and nothing appends...
Now, adb and fastboot can't contact with Yota ("adb devices" give "<waiting for devices") .
Now, In Win devices, I can find " QHSUSB_BULK".
After some search, I found out that my phone is in a recovery mode of Qualcomm. Does anybody know how to unblock it? Problably I need of specific driver to contact with this phone. Thanks so much!
P.S.: do not esitate to contact me if my english is not clear =)

How about a method like this https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/solution-bricked-oneplus-one-recovery.306306/ but use Yotaphone files instead?

This discussion uses Msm8974DownloadTool.exe from the directory of ColorOS but the wire connection does not work (the file is no longer available, from Mega).
Also, not sure if I can use Msm8974DownloadTool.exe with Yotaphone. Alternatively, what can I use?

in the folder , On your keyboard press SHIFT and right click with your mouse " Shift + right click "
click on " open command window here "
8.
Now type following command
adb fastboot
Unlocking the bootloader
Note: Using the fastboot command
When the fastboot command is used on the Storm, the vendor id command option must be added.
The vendor id for the Storm is 0x2970. For example, fastboot devices, would be fastboot -i 0x2970 devices.
Enable OEM unlock in the Developer options settings on the device.
(Note: Not all devices have this setting, so continue with next step if yours does not.)
Connect the device to the computer through USB.
From a terminal on a computer, type the following to boot the device into fastboot mode:
adb reboot bootloader
Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing fastboot devices
If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine. See fastboot documentation for more info.
If you see "no permissions fastboot", try running fastboot as root.
From the same terminal, type the following command to unlock the bootloader:
fastboot -i 0x2970 oem unlock-go
If the device doesn't automatically reboot, reboot it from the menu. It should now be unlocked.
Since the device resets completely, you will need to re-enable USB debugging on the device to continue.
fastboot reboot
Installing a custom recovery using fastboot
Open a terminal on your PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing
adb reboot bootloader
or by using the hardware key combination for your device while it is powered off.
Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing
fastboot devices
Flash recovery onto your device by entering the following command:
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
where the latter part is the filename of the recovery image.
fastboot reboot
full rom fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash abootbak emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1bak sbl1.mbn

2. Ensure USB Debugging mode is ENABLED on Android device.
3. download adb driver
4. unzip adb driver and instal it
5. Extract the Minimal ADB and Fastboot Tool file to your PC
6. Download your RecoveryFile.img file or full fastboot Rom file and put under the extracted folder “ Fastboot or Minimal ADB and Fastboot ” so all files will be in single folder. (Which I've done with TOS319I Fastboot Image file)
7. open folder Minimal ADB and Fastboot, click on " open command window here "

[ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OP8] Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 8

Things are changing with the advent of project treble and seamless updates. OnePlus will no longer release ROMs flashable via recovery (either stock) because is no more needed. The updates will be done on the slot not used for example if you are using slot a the update will be installed on slot b and the slot b will be set as default. If you brick and you are in bootloop how you can restore the rom? You can't with Stock ROM you have, because the zip can be only installed via Update Engine, so what can you do? Flash a stock rom via fastboot. I have extracted all images from the stock zip and i have made a new zip with the Fastboot ROM with a flash-all.bat included. This will work only if your bootloader is unlocked. This will erase all your data and will wipe your internal storage.
HOW TO FLASH
This version is only for not branded devices
Download the zip;
Unpack the zip in a folder;
Reboot the OnePlus 8 in fastboot-bootloader mode (Power and volume + and volume-);
Connect the OnePlus 8 to PC;
Run flash-all.bat flasher you need;
Wait until the process end;
The phone will automatically reboot.
DOWNLOAD
All roms on Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fastbootroms/files/OnePlus 8
BRANDED PHONE
For now branded device are not supported
MANUAL FLASH: Windows - OSX - Linux
If you want to manual flash these roms these are the commands (You need the latest sdk platform tools, you can find it here
Is reccomended to format data or the rom cannot boot:
Code:
fastboot -w

REMEMBER
"Invalid sparce file format at header magic" is not an error, you need to wait a bit when you see that string, just wait.
If the device automatically reboot in Stock Recovery mode don't reboot it and wait the flash end.

Branded devices is for example a Chinese version with HydrogenOS to which OxigenOS has been installed? If so, how can a branded device be recovered?
Thanks

Hi guys, i'm here again to ask for your support, actually with android 10 Google introduced a lot of changing, from dynamic partitions to the new keymaster 4 encryption/decryption. Teamwin is working hard to update TWRP but they will still take some time. Currently some things already work but there are difficulties in bringing them to the OnePlus 8/8 Pro, for example decryption already works but creates some problems on the OnePlus devices. That's why I decided to create a Paypal moneybox to be able to bring you the latest updates in the shortest time possible. As I have previously done, I assure you of a support of at least 2 years (within the limits of my possibilities). In addition to the TWRP I will improve the fastboot roms and add OnePlus 8/8 Pro to my TOOL ALL IN ONE (and maybe I will also bring the RevengeOS). By getting hold of a OnePlus 8 or 8 Pro I will also be able to improve the TWRP for OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro.

If you are unable to participate in the PayPal moneybox, you can make a normal donation (perhaps specifying that it is for the moneybox), however all private donations that I will receive for this or other projects will be included in the moneybox.

I think unbranded devices mean the device bought from T-Mobile or Verizon. Nothing to do with chinese versiion flash oxygenOS, if I'm not wrong.

Can't seem to get this to work. I'm trying to flash a stock rom for my OnePlus 8 after bricking it during a rooting process.
The device' bootloader is obviously unlocked and i can get the phone into Fastboot mode and connected to my PC.
The only issue is when i execute the flash-all.bat file, it can't seem to flash any of the files and gives an error consisting of the message "FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions').
What to do guys? Can anyone help me out.

Does anyone know where to find mobile oneplus 8 5g tmobile from mine is bricked I had same error as post above

Make sure your on the latest update: 10.5.8

Things are changing with the advent of project treble and seamless updates. OnePlus will no longer release ROMs flashable via recovery (either stock) because is no more needed. The updates will be done on the slot not used for example if you are using slot a the update will be installed on slot b and the slot b will be set as default. If you brick and you are in bootloop how you can restore the rom? You can't with Stock ROM you have, because the zip can be only installed via Update Engine, so what can you do? Flash a stock rom via fastboot. I have extracted all images from the stock zip and i have made a new zip with the Fastboot ROM with a flash-all.bat included. This will work only if your bootloader is unlocked. This will erase all your data and will wipe your internal storage.
HOW TO FLASH
This version is only for not branded devices
Download the zip;
Unpack the zip in a folder;
Reboot the OnePlus 8 in fastboot-bootloader mode (Power and volume + and volume-);
Connect the OnePlus 8 to PC;
Run flash-all.bat flasher you need;
Wait until the process end;
The phone will automatically reboot.

Because it is placed in userdata and not in a dedicated partition

I have an issue trying to flash on fastboot. It's says I can't flash on critical partitions. Yes I know alot of people are saying that but what I haven't seen is this:
This is my problem:
Fastboot get device-info
(Bootloader) device unlocked:true
(Bootloader) device critical unlock: false
(Bootloader) charger screen enabled: true
I have already tried "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
It says bootloader already unlocked. I then re lock bootloader which I know is not a good idea( reflash stock with msm tool) and it lock then I try unlock critical command again and it still says device critical unlock: false

i need help please ..

Try again with 10.5.7. When it reboot to recovery, let it continue to run till it reboots on its own.

Unbrick from fastboot method
I hope I can help someone since I spent the whole night trying various methods to unbrick my Oneplus 8 and only this one worked for me JUST FOR INTERNATIONAL VERSION
You must have the drivers installed (Adb & Fastboot)
You must have your phone with the bootloader unlocked
1.- Download the file
2.-Unzip it
inside you will find Flash-all.bat
3.-Enter Fastboot mode
4.-Double click on the Flash-all.bat command
5.-It will direct you to the recovery, select the English language and restart in fastboot mode so that the process continues, wait for it to finish flashing everything and ready, the phone restarts on the latest version
