So,
It's about my friend's Moto X Play [unrooted, locked and using stock ROM (not sure what version as I can't boot into the OS)]. One day, her phone ran out of battery and now it isn't booting up to the OS. It says "Startup failed: failed to validate boot image" (see attached image).The phone is purchased in India so I think it's the XT1562 Dual SIM.
The steps mentioned on the screen didn't work.
Also, I tried to flash the firmwares: MPDS24.107-52-5 and MPDS24.107-70 for XT1562. When I try to flash I get the error "preflashvalidation failed".
i would have unlocked if still possible, flashed twrp then a custom rom

i had an issue updating from one CNA nightly to a newer one the other day, and was left with no option but to flash the original .sbf for my version of the phone & carrier etc. That worked fine, and i have a bootable stock phone, but when trying to install any rom, either through CWM recovery or fastboot, i get issues.
if i try through CWM the correct method, i get stuck on the Moto Dual Core screen forever, until i battery pull and have to sbf flash through RSD Lite again.
If i try through Fastboot, i get error Failed to process command flash: xxxxxxxxxx error (0x0003)
can anyone help please? i've been using various CM7/9 ROMS for months now, and cant deal with being stuck back on MotoBlur stock junk
many thanks in advance!

Reflash the gingerbread pudding .sbf, you're bootloader isn't unlocked anymore.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
the sbf i flashed was from the pudding page, and i unlocked the bootloader again fine, have the unlock sign on the Moto boot logo, just cant get any further than that with ROMs anymore..
EDIT: i am also getting the issue when flashing any kernels,
I can flash a recovery through fastboot, which it says is successful, but when i try to boot into recovery i get failed to boot 2, entering RSD mode.
i have moto g4 plus recently i rooted it every thing worked fine
but when i applied the nougat ota upgrade i m unable to downgrade it to mm stock ROM
neither able to lock boot loader even cant flash it with recovery
every time i flash it it shows "preflash validation failed " and "piv sign not valid " for the boot and recovery image

Maybe it can help you in the right direction... Just maybe. Hope that it helps
Hi there! I have this question which I'd love to have answered because I've been on this issue for around 2 days straight.
Long story short:
Tried to flash custom recovery using fastboot, didn't work because bootloader locked
Kept on trying the unlocker apps, none of them even installed fully (THIS WAS WHEN I WAS STILL ON LOLLIPOP)
Somehow, at some point, I just randomly rebooted and BOOM THERE WAS TWRP (Sorry, I don't remember how exactly I managed that. As far as I remember, I was only using fastboot and nothing else)
Flashed CM 14.1 unofficial, device gave an error message regarding boot.img (something like "could not load boot.img"
Used stock ROM to flash OTA Android 6.1
Now the Asus unlocker app downloads but on reboot it says "error: unlock fail !!!"
Obviously, fastboot is unable to flash a recovery right now. I tried ignoring the error message and rebooting to recovery to stop the device from loading the stock recovery again but the device still loads the stock recovery.
I'm really tired
P.S: NO, there is no Enable OEM option in my Developer Options menu and YES, I have all the drivers necessary.
Did you get anywhere with this? I have a similar problem except that I couldn't flash Android 6.1 because the vendor had flashed WW 5.0.2 on a CN phone without also updating the CN recovery to WW. So the update failed its consistency check.
I've got TWRP on there now, but can't unlock the bootloader in 5.0.2 - I think this is why TWRP can't flash anything. It can't see the update files, won't switch to external SD, etc. .
I also found and tried flashing a WW recovery but that didn't work either. I'm wondering now if I got the 615 software by mistake.
Trying to flash a rom on my HTC 820 (d820n), Stuck at "Main Version is older".
So one dark day, i woke up to my phone being stuck on a Bootloader loop, So after a lot of attempts to get it out of this state, i decided to unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery, wipe /system and install a new ROM, The image i'm trying to install is a stock Marshmallow image (after relocking the bootloader of course) but for some reason i get a message on the bootloader saying "Main Version Is Older Update failed."
Any ideas how i may get my phone alive again?
Urgent help needed as I'm leaving the country at the end of the week o any help is appreciated!
Just successfully rooted my device:
Black, Unlocked, PRA-LX1, UK, Dual SIM
After doing so successfully, I attempted to flash LineageOS from the following link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/p8-lite-2017-development/rom-lineageos-15-1-hi6250-devices-t3811583
Although when I completed Step 6 on the Installation guide and rebooted the phone, I started seeing the message:
------------------
ERROR MODE
Attention!
Please update system again
(Green Android picture)
Error!
Func NO : 11 (recovery image)
Error NO : 2 (load failed!)
------------------
Despite this, I didn't receive a box with my phone due to being second hand, and I didn't see the model number on the receipt as it was from a reselling store. I didn't remember to note down the specific model number
It'd be extremely helpful if someone could possibly help just from the device description above as I'm not sure if it's safe for me to just attempt to flash every stock rom for every other LX1 device out there.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
To restore this, I connected via fastboot with a working USB & flashed an original stock recovery in the video found here
(Just in case their download link ever goes down, I have uploaded the same copy to my MEGA, found here)
The recovery installed fine when using the command
fastboot flash recovery oeminfo.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Whenever trying to flash any other recovery such as twrp before this fastboot stuck on a loading icon.
The stock recovery seems to be downloading the original firmware, too.
PRA-LX1C432B202 is presumably the model.
Both the bootloader and FRA were unlocked when everything else was inaccessible.
Looks like the custom ROM's recovery that you've flashed is not compatible with PRA-LX1. Try to flash stock recovery. If not working, then flash stock firmware.
Thanks @Botar230!
I didn't see your comment until just now after deciding to edit this post since I've gotten a step closer to restoring my device.
Your solution was the method I used although I didn't know my phone model, so I found a random solution which just worked for my device, and the eRecovery seems to be downloading the stock firmware anyways. Thanks again
Before flashing this lineage os you should update to EMUI8 to get treble support, i suppose you was running EMUI5, hence the error mode.
