Downgrade from 6.0 Indian Firmware to 5.1 EU Firmware. Is it possible?

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if is possible to dowgrande to a different country firmware (I'm not interested in the dual sim option). Anyone know if this is possible? I have a locked and non rooted moto x play. I've tried to follow this thread REMINDER HOW TO DOWNGRADE from 6.0 to 5.1.1, but the installation fail with this error:
(bootloader) Invalid signed image
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)

Yes, downgrading is possible with unlocked bootloader (locked bootloader doesn't allow downgrading). The first 2 commands ("fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" and "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img") always fail when downgrading, and can be skipped without any issues, so if the error you got was for one of the first 2 commands just continue with the rest of the commands.

Thanks, I was start to supposing that the locked bootloader was the problem and you just confirmed. Unluckily right now I can't unlock the bootloader so I think I must wait for the release of the complete EU 6.0 Firmware.

In your post you mentioned "unlocked" so i assumed you had unlocked the bootloader already. I'm afraid that downgrading is only possible if you unlock the bootloader, or you can wait for EU 6.0 full stock ROM to become available and try installing that (it might work as you'll be going from 6.0 ROM to 6.0 ROM).

Ooops, sorry. It was a typo, I've just fixed it. Yes, right now I'm waiting for the release of EU 6.0 full stock rom and then I'm going to retry to flash it!

Have you tried what panart said, about skipping the first 2 fastboot commands ?
I also downgraded to 5.1 skipping the first 2 lines and it was working fine.Only I had an unlocked bootloader at that moment ,but maybe it wil also works with a locked bootloader, not sure.

Yes, I've tried both. With and without the first two commands (fastboot flash partition gpt.bin / fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img), but it fails in every case. Purposely I get the errors when I launch this commands:
Code:
- fastboot flash boot boot.img
- fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.*
All the other instructions work fine.

You can flash it directly On any XT1562

Brick, plz help.

Okay my freind and i tried to root this g4 and a internet user told me that this method also works for normal g4's. But now we have a brick, when we're starting the device it says:
ERROR: Failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot
Failed to vertify hab image boot
failed to validate boot image.
We're now downling a stock firmware, the name is: XT1622_ATHENE-TESCO_MPJ24.139-23.4_cid50_subsidy-TESCOEU_CFC.xml.zip
I don't know if it's the right, but bootloader says athene_13mp XT1622b and ATHENE_EMEA_DSDS_CUST
Is this the right one? How can we recover it when it's the wrong?
Can anybody help us?

Solve
Hi! I had the same problem , and recently I managed to solve it. for me I just installed a different rom stock (not official ) and the problem was solved!
Downloads: Rom for XT1640, XT1626 and XT1641 (Torrent) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byb_8WkC6g1XV053N2hXNkpnOWM/view?pageId=106752732436593453453
if this rom not work, try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/development/stock-moto-g4-marshmallow-6-0-1-stock-t3382999
and the commands, if you dont know: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_WcFxq0JJ-ESlYyMWpNTWU0WVE
Both of they worked for me (Yeah i tested the both).
Dont forget that this erases your celphone data.

tell about your situation detailed. what method did you try to root the phone? did you unlock the bootloader first? which version of supersu did you flash? did you flash recovery first and is it working?..... in any case, unlocking the bootloader and flashing the twrp/cwm recovery followed by stock firmware flash should help. provide more details.

Flash Recovery -> FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

Hello Guys,
After serveral month with TWRP & other stuff I've flashed stock B161 today.
Now I want to flash TWRP because of SuperSU.
I opened Minimal ADB&Fastboot (Work's fine the last month) and booted in bootloader. Then I've typed:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And got the alert:
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
Yes, Bootloader is unlocked.
OEM-Unlock is activated to.
Thanks for every help und sorry for bad english.

it's some kind of bug i think, it says it's unlocked, but it isn't, try unlocking again. it's only unlocked if you get a warning everytime you boot up the phone

it's not unlocked if it says command not allowed.
try unlocking again, it should work after that
when you flash a stock rom, the bootloader gets locked again, but for some reason it still says unlocked in fastboot mode. it's probably to prevent you from restoring warranty after unlocking your device

Thank you!
You are right, the warning-message isn't there anymore.
I will try to unlock it again tomorrow, I hope that it work without problems.

Slot Suffix not found is normal, that's because TWRP is checking for another slot like in Pixel or other A/B devices.
About your other problem you have to provide more information, which stock ROM version did you flash and from which version did you come?
Maybe you downgraded your bootloader?
Have you been on any 64bit custom ROM? If yes which one?

In addition to wolfcity's useful post, have you unlocked this device's bootloader in the past? If so, then what happens if you try to unlock with your unlock key as given to you by Motorola?
If your key no longer works, and OEM unlocking (under Settings>Developer Options) is turned on, then you may have to request help from the official Motorola forums: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/MOTOROLA-Android-Developer/Bootloader-Unlock-Problems/td-p/3222809
If you have not unlocked this device bootloader, then have you obtained the OEM unlock code and submitted that code to Motorola as per this tool? https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a

Looks like you flashed a ROM meant for US devices onto your Indian device... Also, NPN25.137-35 is a really old firmware (March 2017) and Moto devices sometimes do not work well if you've flashed an older firmware to your device.
I'd recommend flashing the NPNS25.137-92-10 (April 2018 security patch) or NPNS25.137-92-14 (June 2018 security patch) firmware onto your device. I'd also recommend flashing with wiping your userdata, as I don't know what's causing this; with a data wipe, you will want to back up your data if possible. Copy your essential files to a computer/cloud storage and hopefully have your contacts backed up. You could use MyPhoneExplorer to back up your contacts, text messages and call log.

Not much to add to echo92's post, a full wipe and flashing one of the mentioned firmwares is exactly what you should do.
For the case that you have downgraded your bootloader in the past I would recommend to not take future OTA as this could hardbrick your device.

Here you'll find the firmware
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/RETAIL/
Use NPNS25.137-92-10 (April 2018 security patch) or NPNS25.137-92-14 (June 2018 security patch.
As I told you before the "slot suffix not found" message is normal and no problem.
It just tells you that your device has only one update slot and not two like Pixel or some Xiaomi devices.
And about the unlock key: Have you tried to get one like echo92 posted? Have you tried to use the
fastboot oem unlock command?
Here you find a complete guide for rooting your device, the first part is only about flashing stock firmware. Just follow the first part of this guide but use the above firmware.

As Wolfcity has mentioned above, the slot suffix is normal for our devices as we don't have A/B partitioning. To illustrate, if I boot my G4 Plus to fastboot and then issue the command 'fastboot reboot' from ADB, using minimal ADB 1.4.3 and the Motorola USB drivers, on Windows 10 64 bit, this is the output:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot reboot
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
rebooting...
finished. total time: 0.176s
Also, as I asked you in your PM, have you actually posted to that Motorola thread? Once AlphaDog or one of the moderators sees your post in that thread, they should start the process for getting you an unlock key, or at least advise you on what to do next. I do not know if posting outside of that Motorola thread will get you results.
